Sony Products That Run Embedded Linux

Posted by timothy on from the run-linux-run dept.

tbirdsaw writes "I was browsing for information on how to run Linux on the PS2 without a Linux Kit (they've stopped selling them in the U.S., AFAIK). While searching, I stumbled across Sony's Open Source Code website. They have quite a few products that run an embedded linux system, including some professional video switchers (MVS8000?) and at least several of their relatively new XDCAM disc-based video format decks. Might make for some hardware/firmware hacking in the near future?"

    There were to be several versions of the
    Japanese TRON operating system (-not- a
    very recent development, and -not- OSS)

    Did this die?

    If so, about how long ago?

    TIA
