Hello Everyone,
We at Embedded Nirvana are doing "the stuff" which will benefit the
embedded hacker community. We also would love to put your efforts to
mainline OSes / Development environment.
In short we are creating a fully virtualized development environment
for embedded devices. No more messing around with power cables and
connectors :)
However one of our big goals is to make our efforts industrially viable.
We have thought to approach orgainzations which provide hardware / FOSS
software:
OSes: Red Hat / Fedora / Debian / Canonical / etc.
Chip designer: Texas Instruments / Freescale Semiconductors / Qualcomm
/ etc.
The plan follows.
We make virtualized environment as we have done for the DVD with
following features.
- Tool-chain for a set of devices for that particular chipmaker.
- Linux and other related source code and precompiled
binaries/libraries.
- Create a complete development and debug environment.
- Customized Eclipse IDE for that particular embedded hardware /
board.
- QEMU for doing the virtualization of hardware board.
Subsequently, we would like to approach various OS distributions (
Fedora/Debian ) to create a remix exclusively for a particular embedded
hardware / chipmaker.
Please add your views on how can we achieve this or what hurdles we
would encounter.

I believe there's a hero in all of us
who keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally
allows us to die with pride,
even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we
want the most... even our dreams.
