The following is from tiday's issue of a UK newsletter, SCN Daily News, which is about smart card topics:
Linux To Make Smart Card Debut The open source operating system (OS) Linux is emerging as a strong potential platform for future Smart Card development, according to a senior executive at China MobileSoft. Speaking at a recent Gemplus Developer Conference, China MobileSoft's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Wang Jiping said that Linux is gaining even greater traction and penetration for the embedded systems market than the PC market where it is a fierce rival of Microsoft's Windows. Wang said that a Linux COS (Chip Operating System) would be an ideal solution due to the limited Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM) in the Smart Card which would benefit from the Linux kernel which is small and modular by nature and freely available. Wang noted that there is no Linux COS on the market yet, but claimed that there were Linux developers working on it already.
