Domain Specific Embedded Software Solutions and Promotion of Embedded Linux in Korea Jung Guk Kim Hankuk Univ. of Foreign studies jgkim@hufs. ac. kr Moon Hae Kim Konkuk University mhkim@konkuk. ac. kr

Agenda v Introduction § Difficulties of Korean Embedded S/W industry v Trends § Mobile Phone § Telematics § Home Server § DMB v Promotion Policies in Korea 2

Technology Trends, Embedded S/W Control Programs RTOS + Applications Platform Specific Hierarchical S/W Solutions Complex Hierarchy Service Convergence Emerging of OSS Solutions Dependency on OS & Chip vendors increased More royalty, 10 -times size increment during past 10 years Common solutions sharing & reuse Embedded Linux, CELF, Qplus , etc 3

Difficulties of Embedded S/W Industries in Korea Co-operation with foreign companies Difficulties Small business -> lack of - fast & in-time development - low cost Foreign Platforms - Tech. Support & Maintainability - Reliability Big Device Makers Embedded-SI oriented contract - not license-based low cost narrow market no packaged solutions - high quality engineers documents reliability continues support tech. marketing sharing of commons Solution Industries Difficulties of Embedded Linux - no reliable maintenance & long-term Tech. support hidden patents problems as a embedded OS -> CELF more than 400 companies 5 years ago -> 5 companies 4

Mobile Phone S/W Stack & Competitiveness Domestic Solutions Browser UI platform GUI Platform Messaging Service and contents support applications Java Phone Application framework (VM) Memory DB Sync Multimedia/3 D DRM Telephony Embedded Operating Systems better competitive weak very weak 5

Telematics S/W Stack better competitive weak very weak 6

Definition of Home Server = Home GW + Home STB • Network GW Service • Home Office Service (Vo. IP, etc. ) • Home Automation Service • Home Security Service • ICE(Information, Communication, Entertainment) Service • Home Security, Automation & Office Relevant Services • Conents Storage & Authoring • IP-STB + Home network 7

Home Gateway S/W Stack Figure. Home Gateway S/W Stack better competitive weak very weak 8

Home STB S/W Stack Figure. Home STB S/W Stack better competitive weak very weak 9

DMB S/W Stack App. Layer Channel Browser / EPG Engine Layer Codec Layer Protocol Layer A/Vplayer DMB Middleware AVC Decoder MPEG-4 SL Demultiplxer BIFS Engine, Tools App. Framework (VM) BWS Browser BSAC Decoder MPEG-2 TS Demultiplxer TPEG Browser AAC+ Decoder DAB Protocol Decoder CAS (MOT, TDC, IP tunneling, Return channel) Embedded Operating System / Device Driver better competitive weak very weak 10

Promotion of Embedded S/W Industy v Embedded S/W Engineering Center (KIPA) § -> from next pages v Linux Engineering Center (KIPA) § Booyo kernel (service, desktop) promotion & maintenance v Best Practice (MOST & Korea Embedded S/W Industry Council) § Development of Open-IP-STB with embedded Linux v Support Program for Linux Migration & Service Development using Linux of Public Organizations § 18 organizations during past 3 years 11

Embedded SW Eng. Center (Plan) Collaboration of Big- Small Companies Maintenance & tech. Support - alliance system Solution share & Tech. Marketing - Sol. map DB - Share Solutions - Standards & Interoperability - Support testbeds For solution companies S/W Quality Tech. Development - Standards - S/W develop process - Commons - Basic techs. (OSS) - Future techs Business Model - License model - H/W, S/W joint purchase - Engineer DB - M&A OSS Tech.
