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

History

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

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

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