A consortium that includes Sony, Panasonic, Royal Philips Electronics and other companies has taken a step toward advancing the use of the Linux operating system in consumer electronics devices.
The CE Linux Forum announced earlier this week the release of the first CELF Specification and Reference Implementation, a collection of open-source patches for Linux. Among the patches are some designed to make it easier for consumer electronics devices using the Linux OS to start up and shut down faster, consume less power and use less memory, among other things. They were chosen and developed by various working groups within CELF.
