Mobilinux is a discontinued Linux distribution by MontaVista.[1] It was announced on April 25, 2005.

History[edit]

In 2005, PalmSource joined MontaVista to collaborate on Mobilinux.[2]

In April 2005, version 4.0 was released.[3] In 2007, version 5.0 was released.[4]

Usage[edit]

Around 35 million devices have run on Mobilinux, mainly in Asian markets. LWN.net argued that because it was controlled by a single company and targeted mobile operators, it did not generated a large developer community.[5] It has been used on smartphones and NAS devices. The Motorola used Mobilinux in their MotoMagx OS, for example Motorola ROKR.[6]

Hardware support[edit]

It had support for the Freescale's i.MX31 chipset.[7]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
