MontaVista Mobilinux Edition
|
| MontaVista Mobilinux - The Worlds Most Advanced Mobile Operating System |
 |
MontaVista Mobilinux 5.0 is an optimized Linux operating system and development platform for wireless handsets and other mobile devices such as GPS devices, portable medical devices, and wireless POS terminals. Mobilinux 5.0 is the new version of the operating system used in 90 percent of Linux-based smartphones. More than 35 million phones and other mobile devices run on Mobilinux, far more than any other commercial Linux.
This fifth-generation mobile operating system delivers ubiquitous connectivity, fast performance, plus lower costs and faster time-to market for manufacturers. |
 As a commercial-grade Linux development platform it provides the time to market benefits normally only found in proprietary development platforms with the customizability and control of an open-source Linux environment. Unlike freely-available source code, Mobilinux is productized, has been tested by MontaVista's testing facilities, and is backed by MontaVista's PhD-level support.
Mobilinux addresses mobile device requirements for power management, real-time performance, fast start-up, and small footprint.
|
| Tailored to the Needs of Mobile Devices |
| |
|
Longer battery life |
Fully programmable Mobilinux power management includes APIs
that extend battery life to support power-hungry multimedia. In tests on a
phone running a Texas Instruments OMAP 2430 processor, MontaVista's unique
power management played MP3 music five times as long as the same phone
without MontaVista power management. |
|
| |
|
Built-in connectivity |
Higher-end handsets need capabilities such as e-mail,
Internet, and VoIP. As they become more PC-like, handsets are becoming the
next generation client. MontaVista Linux can connect to more types of
software and devices than any other Linux. Mobilinux 5.0 saves months of
development time by providing out-of-the-box support for SDIO (Secure
Digital Input Output), Wi-Lan/Wi-Fi over USB, Bluetooth over USB
(supporting wireless headsets, headphones, and other items), USB
On-The-Go, ALSA sound drivers, GStreamer, plus many new devices and the
protocol stacks to support them. |
|
| |
|
Speedy startup |
Phones using Moblinux 5.0 typically boot in less than 5
seconds and place a phone call in less than 10 seconds, three times faster
than Symbian or Microsoft-based devices and three-and-a-half times faster
than the iPhone. MontaVista supports XIP (Execute-In-Place) and
prelinking, so applications start quickly, enabling fast shut-down and
resume from sleep in less than half a second. |
|
| |
|
Small footprint |
Mobilinux 5.0 can be implemented in under 2 megabytes and
for a typical mobile phone with basic functionality, less than 14
megabytes. In addition, Mobilinux implements uClibc, LOT (Library
Optimization Tool), and other technologies to reduce application footprint
size. |
|
| |
|
Better development environment |
The device development tool chain for Mobilinux 5.0 is the
first in the world to provide KGDB over USB. This solves development
problems caused because debuggers require serial ports, but phone
miniaturization eliminated serial ports, forcing the creation of external
test environments for all debugging. Mobilinux 5.0 allows a debugger to
connect directly to a device's USB port, allowing debugging and tracing of
both the kernel and applications to be done on the target device itself.
In addition, Mobilinux 5.0 includes new platform development tools that
enhance productivity for kernel-level work, and new tools for mobile
application developers. |
|
| |
|
Multi-core processor support |
Mobilinux 5.0 supports both single-core and multi-core
processors, and supports devices built with multiple processing chips
(such as phones using one baseband processor and one application
processor) as well as devices that combine multiple processors on one
integrated CPU chip. |
|
| |
|
BOM cost reduction |
Given typical handset volumes, opportunities to reduce the
bill of materials (BOM) cost can have a significant financial benefit.
Most high-level operating systems have expensive hardware requirements.
The advanced real-time technology in Mobilinux enables a single chipset to
handle both baseband and application processing. Further, because
MontaVista works with a wide range of processors, memories and boards,
device manufacturers can choose the most cost-effective BOM
components. |
|
| |
| |
NSA-level mobile security |
MontaVista Mobilinux 5.0 is the first mobile operating system to include MontaVista μSELinux, a compact version of Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux), developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) to protect the confidentiality of messages and the integrity of files and system software. μSELinux prevents malware from taking control of a device, and it enables a single Mobilinux device to be used by users with different security roles to access multiple kinds of information with different security levels. This is the first availability of any form of SELinux for mobile devices. Only Mobilinux 5.0 can provide this degree of protection.
