Learning About Enea's Real Time Linux Embedded OS (Video)
Jon Aldama is the Product Marketing Manager for Enea A.B., but he prides himself on being a developer first and a marketer second -- a point he stresses early in today's video. Enea is behind Operating System Embedded, whose Wikipedia page, some say, "appears to be written like an advertisement," which an unkind person could also say about the Enea A.B. Wikipedia page. In any case, Enea works with the Linux Foundation's Yocto Project workgroup, whose main webpage says, "It's not an embedded Linux distribution – it creates a custom one for you." This is all open source, which Jon says is a big corporate principle at Enea -- and he should know, since his previous job was as an Open Source Compliance Officer and Software Analyst at Ericsson.

A largely unjustified premiun is placed on the term "open source". Open source has mvoed from an academic fascination to an overemphasized paradigm. If only the benefits of commercial software were as emphasized!
What the fuck is the summary trying to say?
I wonder how much Enea paid to get this badly written advertisement.
Debt is Wealth. Ignorance is Strength. Freedom is Slavery. War is Peace. Cold is Warm.
Obama is a traitor. Obama runs a baby-Stalin dictatorial regime. Obama is an imperial president. Obama and his regime are the enemies within. Obama and his regime are the enemies of faith, freedom, family and liberty. Obama has bought our LEOs and Military with Pay and Pension with Printed Fake Federal Reserve Notes. LEOs and Military should note that those FRNs are paper, but our freedom costs much blood. We need to end thus regime and most of the government needs to be re-chained as the Constitution wanted. All of the acolytes of Alinsky, Cloward and Piven should be arrested and imprisoned for their sedition, for their treason, for their utter evil.
Debt is Wealth. Ignorance is Strength. Freedom is Slavery. War is Peace. Cold is Warm.
Arrest Obama. Now. Or you are a traitor a liar and thief
Appears to be written like an advertisment...

its all about marketing? everyone tries to make a new brand... its a nightmare... its like reinventing the wheel again
What kind of realtime is this? Soft, hard, imaginary, wannabe? Sorry, can't be bothered to watch a 10 minute video to find that out and this should be specified, when talking about realtime systems.
I could have sworn this was the paid advertisement.
Slashdot; news for suckers, stuff that isn't worth buying.
Hey guys look we need customers, but where does every customer lives ? On the /. of course ...
I really dont get this kind of articles here, is it a commercial webpage, come on guys dont start with the same things others did already and lost the best audition....
Not cool !
Enea payed them to write this """""article"""" but not so much hence the lack of textual details.... Enea looks cheap to me now
What is the advantage of this over using, say, one of the realtime ARM kernels floating around on the net, with a ubuntu userspace? In our application we have had pretty good experiences treating our beaglebone blacks like any other linux machine, with only the installation (via sd card instead of usb key) and the device overlay tree stuff being hardware specific. We regularly ssh in, run vim to edit files, recompile... Is the idea that it is capable of scaling down even smaller than debian can, for boards that are less powerful than a beaglebone? I tried out the "smart" package manager they use on my ubuntu laptop, and it seemed slow, and seemed like it did not import the existing package selections; "smart upgrade" offered to delete practically everything on my system including stuff like vim.
