CONTEXT

The LSM/RMLL '04 meeting is organized at Bordeaux, FRANCE during the 6th to 10th july 2004 at the ENSEIRB, School of Electrical Engineering and managed by the ABUL association, the University of Bordeaux and the ENSEIRB School.

The embedded systems are increasingly present in our life. The embedded system community usually used commercial software solutions with royalties to reverse each time a system is sold. Since few years, a reversal of tendency has appeared with the use of free software for embedded systems. That is made possible by the adaptation of the Linux kernel to the constraints of atypical embedded system (no MMU, small memory footprint, filesystem in FLASH memory...) and its port on various types of processors. The purpose of this session is to give the state of the art of free software for embedded systems.

A special Embedded session is scheduled on free software (toolchains, embedded Linux, Real Time Linux...) for embedded Systems.
