The most important thing when you want to integrate a Linux distro in a commercial product is the support. We found Windriver support to be incredibly good. We were able to get on a call with the support and got our questions answered immediately which really helped cut down on development and increased the stability of the final product.

Windriver is very stable and has got some better performance over other distros of Linux that are commercially available.

I'm also glad that they embraced the open source software a long time ago.

VxWorks also is a great RTOS that is very stable and has great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of the platform is high, royalties for high volume products is gets high pretty quickly. Windriver Linux distro is solid and can be integrated with minimal effort into your product.

I would expect from Windriver to have built some kernel modules already to address common customer requirements and to fix some issues with Linix kernel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You get the benefits of Linux and open-source, with the advantages of dedicated support and controlled changes. Additionally, Wind River will customize a BSP for your hardware specifics.

I don't have a particular dislike of Wind River Linux. They are the best solution in the Linux space for embedded medical device software. If anything, as with all Wind River, they are not inexpensive, but WRL is certainly inexpensive in contrast to VxWorks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
