Embedded Linux is the use of a Linux operating system in an embedded computer systems such as a mobile phones, personal digital assistants, media players and other consumer electronics devices, networking equipment, machine control, industrial automation, navigation equipment and medical instruments.
According to a VDC survey, Linux was used by 18% of embedded engineers.[1] Unlike desktop and server versions of Linux, embedded Linux is designed for devices with relatively limited resources, such as smaller sizes of RAM and much more limited secondary storage.
Embedded Linux devices often have smaller flash memory-based secondary storage instead of a hard drive.
Embedded Linux is also usually purpose-made for the required application and target hardware, and thus attempts to be the optimized form of the Linux kernel for that application.
Most optimizations are done to make the OS a real-time operating system.

MontaVista Real-time Linux (Overview)
MontaVista Software has helped evolve native, hard real-time developments to the Linux kernel, thus moving closer to achieving interrupt response characteristics previously attributed to specialized and proprietary, commercial real-time operating systems.
In 1999, MontaVista introduced as a patch to the 2.4 Linux kernel, the MontaVista Preemptible Linux Kernel that leveraged the spin-locks that protect critical regions in the Linux...
