Gimme a second to boot my embedded Linux An interesting piece of news came through my in-box this morning, especially for embedded systems developers�MontaVista claims to have developed a version its Linux that achieves "ultra-fast" boot times for embedded industrial applications. Their definition of ultra-fast is one second from a cold boot. The announcement came at Freescale Tech Forum, so as you would expect, the demo was done on a Freescale MPC5121e CPU, built on the Power Architecture technology. MontaVista claims that the achievement was achieved "through a combination of careful tuning of the entire software stack and a highly optimized kernel." Sounds like a bit of hocus-pocus. I'll have to dig in and see how it's really done.	Richard Nass Director of Media/Content TechInsights
