Over decades, the diverse needs of OEMs fostered the development of a range of different embedded runtime options, from real-time operating systems (RTOSs), to microkernels to Linux, among others. Now, many OEMs are looking towards new technology choices such as virtualization as a mechanism to consolidate previously discrete systems – which often used different operating systems or had different levels of required safety certification. Already, the long-fragmented embedded market is consolidating around fewer technology choices. While still diverse, more and more OEMs are seeing the need to choose third-party technology to help accelerate their development and innovation.
