Hungerford, Berkshire, UK — (press release excerpt) — Feabhas announced a major technical seminar on the use of Linux in embedded systems. Entitled “Embed with Linux?” the seminar will run at the Madejski Stadium, Reading on October 31, 2002. The intent of the day is to openly position Linux as a target environment for real-time embedded applications, and to present its shortcomings (e.g. Linux cannot run on an 8051 or PIC, you have very limited options to sensibly develop for Linux on a Windows platform). As part of the day presentations will discuss what real-time Linux is; open and commercial developments for embedded Linux; and integration with other platforms.

An Exhibition will run alongside the seminar. Companies exhibiting/speaking at the event include: Applied Microsystems, LynuxWorks, MetroWerks, MontaVista, Sun Microsystems, WindRiver, and Xilinx.

Feabhas is an independent provider of software training for real-time and embedded developers. As a vendor-independent company, Feabhas offers pragmatic and open advice about the use of many software technologies for real-time embedded developers. The most popular Feabhas classes are their embedded programming courses in C and C++ and their vendor independent Real-Time UML Course. Feabhas is unique in their use of target hardware on general language courses, giving delegates hands-on embedded programming experience in the newly learnt language. Feabhas launched an Embedded Linux course at the beginning of 2002 and this autumn has launched a fully updated version of this course which incorporates the use of target hardware.
