Migrating VxWorks RTOS to Embedded Linux Webinar

Posted by Ken Cheung in Events, Training on Tuesday, October 14, 2008

MontaVista® Software, Inc. is offering a new educational webinar. The webcast will take place on October 23 and will offer information for device developers who are looking to migrate their applications from the VxWorks® RTOS to embedded Linux. Attendees will gain an understanding of key considerations in planning a code migration, including criteria that warn against moving to embedded Linux and how to determine whether the most appropriate method is to migrate existing code, use virtualization, or recode the application. They will learn about common barriers to completing a successful migration, along with tips for overcoming them. Attendees will receive a free white paper on migrating legacy VxWorks applications to embedded Linux.
