Acknowledgements

We gratefully recognise the contribution of the many dedicated hackers, but particuarly the folks from SnapGear who created the build environment that is the uClinux-dist.

We couldn't do any of this without Open Source software. From the Linux kernel running our servers (thanks CentOS!), Apache serving our content, Subversion to keep store our source code, and Trac to help us manage it - it's proof that Free software is production-ready.

Thanks to the PetaLogix clients who recognise the value in what we do.

Thanks to the engineers at Xilinx who've been good friends and great technical assistance over the long and sometimes tortuous process of turning MicroBlaze and Embedded Linux into a production-ready embedded systems platform.

Thanks to the staff and students of the Embedded Systems Group at The University of Queensland for being our guinea pigs and using this stuff from day one. Thanks for participating in our internal beta test of PetaLinux - your feedback was invaluable.
