Operating Systems Used in Embedded Systems - Volume 2: Windows Embedded and Mobile
VDC Research Group, Inc. , May 2008, Pages: 64
As part of its Embedded Software 2008 Market Intelligence Service, VDC Research Group (VDC) is pleased to release a study covering the worldwide market for the Windows family of operating systems/platforms that include CE, XPE, Point of Service, Mobile, Automotive, Server, and .NET Micro Framework used in the development of embedded/mobile devices/systems. The report contains revenue estimates for 2007 shipments of Windows OS/platform solutions and forecasts of revenue shipments through 2010.
Market Overview
The embedded market continues to grow and evolve as suppliers look to offer broader and more complete integrated solutions across the development, deployment, and management life-cycle spectrums for embedded devices/systems. This is a far different landscape from the early nineties when suppliers were compartmented and offered real-time operating systems or development tools.
Regardless of what type of system or device is being developed, software presents similar challenges; however, device software development requirements are more stringent when it comes to determinism, execution speed, footprint limitations, power management, etc. Clearly software has taken on greater importance in the development of devices. As a result, software concerns are increasingly managed like any other process that is part of product development including quality optimization, performance, manageability, and better efficiency.
Compounding these challenges is fast-moving silicon across a wide spectrum of processor derivatives, introducing added levels of complexity from multi-core/multi-processor architectures that have stepped up the software support from various market players and associations.
The ability to offer choice in the underlying architecture, standardization around tools, components and standards-based hardware, leveraging open source technology, and application-specific software platforms are all evolving trends that reflect a comprehensive development and life-cycle support approach.
In the end it is no longer about a single component or components but about integrated solution stacks that address the complexity of device software development, deployment and management support. As such, the ecosystem of third-party strategic partners and their products take on greater significance as product niches are filled in within the solution and where professional services are available as a bridge to help customers achieve success.
