ARM Joins Consumer Electronics Linux Forum (CELF) ARM Joins
Technology Industry Leaders to Promote Wider Consumer Uptake of
Linux CAMBRIDGE, England, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARM (
LSE: ARM) , the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded
RISC processor solutions, today announced its associate membership
in the Consumer Electronics Linux Forum (CELF). Established in
June, the CELF is an industry group focused on advancing Linux as
an open source platform for consumer electronics devices such as
personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld computers and other
audio visual devices. CELF members collaborate, clarify and codify
issues, designs and specifications required by Linux that need to
be addressed by the open source community. ARM joins other
high-profile members including Motorola, NEC, Samsung, ST, and
Texas Instruments, and founding members Matsushita and Sony.
Membership in the CELF coincides with work ARM has already
undertaken to develop and use embedded Linux on its core-based
microprocessors. "While Linux has been gaining momentum as a
desktop operating system, changes from both a technical and
architectural standpoint are needed to help the platform reach its
full potential in a consumer electronics environment," said Mary
Inglis, director, Operating Systems and Alliances, ARM. "ARM is
joining a valuable resource in the CELF. It is part of our
long-term support for the Linux platform, and to help bring Linux
into products people use everyday." ARM will participate in the
Forum's various industry-leading working groups, addressing and
collaborating on embedded technology changes required to adapt to
Linux, such as kernel design, size constraints, performances rates
and power management issues within microprocessor cores. "Linux's
open-source nature, which frees developers and users from the
constraints of proprietary middleware, also has many challenges.
ARM is committed to working with CELF members on enhancing
architectures, as well as maintaining industry quality controls,
security and standards," added Mary Inglis. About ARM ARM is the
industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC
