London, Ontario, CANADA — (company press release) — Microtronix has become a sustaining level sponsor of LinuxDevices.com (see listing), a web portal to the world of embedded Linux. Microtronix would like to support the valuable contribution that LinuxDevices.com and its founder Rick Lehrbaum have made to the… embedded Linux community.

Over the upcoming months, through the activities of such groups as the Embedded Linux Consortium, the benefits and uses for Linux in embedded applications will become better understood. Microtronix has found Linux to be a low-cost, high-performance operating system for use in embedded systems. The Linux Open Source community has emerged as a driving force in advanced software technology development. Leading hardware and software suppliers around the world are currently supporting or plan to support their products and solutions in the Linux environment–indeed, the use of Linux in embedded applications will continue to rise across a wide range of industries. The open source community is actively working on enhancing the features of Linux for use in embedded applications.
