Mobilinux: Tailor-made for wireless and portable devices, Mobilinux combines the time-to-market benefits of a proprietary RTOS with the flexibility of Linux.

		Mobilinux 5.0

	Linux Kernel	First mobile OS to support version 2.6.21

	Architectures supported	ARM: TI OMAP2430 and TI OMAP3430 reference platforms More platforms to follow in early 2008. Multicore processor support as well as single-core SoC support as well as devices built with multiple processing chips (such as a phone using one baseband processor and one application processor)

	Libraries	Glibc 2.5.90 uClibc 0.9.29 with NPTL and MTA Library Optimization Tool (LOT)

	Security	MontaVista MicroSELinux World's first SELinux for mobile devices Provides SA-level security Protects the integrity of files and system software IPSec eCryptFS

	Longer battery life	Configurable dynamic power management Dynamic tick timer Tests show up to 80% less battery drain

	Connectivity and I/O	Pre-integrated connectivity and I/O drivers USB Bluetooth Bluetooth over USB Wi-Fi over USB Wi-LAN over USB USB OTG (USB On-The-Go) USB Gadget SDIO (Secure Digital Input/Output) TIPC D-Bus Sound drivers Graphics framework IPv6 Certification Ready

	Graphics and multimedia	Framebuffer DirectFB X Window System Gtk on DirectFB Gtk on X Window GStreamer VFP (Vector Floating Point) computation ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)

	Speed	Fast boot (under 5 sec., place phone call in under 10 sec.) Fast app startup Fast shutdown Resume from sleep in less than 1/2 second Jazelle DBX Java acceleration framework (makes Java 5-10 times faster) Advanced real-time response (See below.)

	Integrated real-time response	MontaVista Linux preemptible kernel technology (100% native Linux; no double-kernel non-Linux add-ons) Real-time scheduler High resolution POSIX timers Threaded soft and hard IRQ handlers Application-level priority inheritance Priority queuing Robust mutexes Futexes Userland support Preempt_RT

	Small footprint	Can run in as little as 2 MB (OS + app) Typical mobile phone with basic functionality, less than 14MB Library Optimization Tool (LOT), uClibc, other footprint reduction technologies VFP (Vector Floating Point) computation Linux-Tiny 4kByte IRQ stack

	Kernel and application development tools	DevRocket 5: Eclipse-based IDE First to provide KGDB/GDB over USB, which allows debugging and tracing of both kernel and apps to be done on the target device itself Many additional tools from MontaVista partners System measurement tools: Kernel startup timing Execution tracing Performance profiling Memory usage Application measurement tools: Performance profiling Memory usage Memory leak detection Device management: View processes and change priority Remote file management Remote shell Time-saving development tools: KGDB/GDB over USB, Ethernet, serial Automated remote debug Platform image builder LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) support Compiler optimizations: ARM EABI support for third-party tools Thumb mode Optimizations for ARMv5, ARMv6, and iWMMXt Development environment hosts: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3,4 (32-bit & 64-bit) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.1 Sun Solaris 8, 9, 10 Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP

	Toolchain	GCC 4.2.0 TLS (Thread Local Storage) ARM EABI (Extended Application Binary Interface)

	File systems	XIP (Execute-In-Place) of kernel and applications PRAMFS (Protected RAM File System) SquashFS (compressed read-only file system) JFFS2 and YAFFS2 with support for NOR and NAND flash eCryptFS UnionFS

	Support	MontaVista Zone customer portal Hands-on training classes 24-hour email and phone support MontaVista Professional Services custom engineering Support and services from MontaVista partners
