Wind River (Subsidiary of Intel) has a large foothold in the IoT market with their VxWorks and WR Linux OSs that play in the embedded/MCU market. Also see their free new open source OS, Rocket, which is being developed as the "Zephyr Project" in collaboration with the Linux Foundation.
- petra 10y agoWith regards to OS for microcontrollers, ARM's mbed has far better low-power,security and ecosystem story. And as far as Linux OS's - nobody will buy an OS that can't be ported to ARM and be done so reasonably, so i'm not sure Wind River helps Intel that much in selling chips.

- roymurdock 10y agoWR is aggressively building out its Helix Cloud platform. Silicon is useless without the services/app dev/data management backend. If WR can migrate OS users up to Helix Cloud they can (somewhat) offset losses on Intel hardware and giving the newer OSs away for free.
