The announcement states that Linaro expects initial software delivery before the end of 2012.
“Linux is driving innovation in every area of computing from mobile and embedded to the cloud. Linaro’s enterprise efforts will bring together software engineers to help accelerate Linux development for ARM servers, and we’re confident that this new server-focused group will advance Linux in these areas and offer additional choices to Linux users around the world.” said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation.
Linaro was established in 2010 by founding members ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson, and Texas Instruments, and its aim is to provide software and tools that make it easier to develop Linux-based products. Linaro’s software focus is in the areas of multimedia, graphics, power management, kernel, and boot. For more information, please visit: http://www.linaro.org/linux-on-arm.
