MontaVista Software
The leader in embedded Linux commercialization |
MontaVista helps embedded developers get the most out of open source by adding commercial quality, integration, hardware enablement, expert support, and the resources of the MontaVista development community. Because MontaVista customers enjoy faster time to market, more competitive device functionality, and lower total cost, more devices have been deployed with MontaVista than with any other Linux.
MontaVista Software invented embedded Linux commercialization in 1999 to give device designers a platform to deliver the best possible product in the shortest possible time. Since then, through growth and innovation MontaVista has remained the leading company in this category.
MontaVista Products
MontaVista Linux 6 delivers a new approach to embedded Linux development.

MontaVista’s open source leadership
When you select a Linux platform for your product, a provider that doesn’t work with the open source community won’t meet your needs. Some companies are part-time Linux companies. Their main business may be processors or proprietary software, but they provide embedded Linux as a side business. They are not committed to open source. They don’t understand Linux or how to work with the open source community.
No embedded software company has done more to lead the open source community than MontaVista: - A top 20 contributor to the mainline Linux kernel for several years in a row
- Contributed more lines of source code than all other embedded Linux companies combined
- Made Linux contributions of greater importance than those from any other embedded Linux company
- Active contributor or maintainer of key areas of Linux inside and outside the kernel, plus other kernel trees and communities
- Opened more hardware platforms to Linux than any other company
- Member, sponsor, co-founder, director, board member, or chair of more than 20 open source organizations
