Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule I-Intel idalule ukutholwa kwe-Linutronix, inkampani yaseJalimane enesibopho sokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bokusebenzisa i-Linux ezinhlelweni zezimboni.
Kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi ukuthengwa Linutronix ibonisa ukuzibophezela kwe-Intel ekusekeleni i-Linux kernel kanye nomphakathi ohlobene nawo. Intel izohlinzeka ithimba le-Linutronix ngamakhono nezinsiza ezengeziwe. Ngemva kokuphothulwa komsebenzi, i-Linutronix izoqhubeka nokusebenza njengebhizinisi elizimele ngaphakathi kwesigaba sokuthuthukiswa kwesofthiwe ye-Intel.
Mark Skarpness, IPhini likaMongameli kanye noMphathi-Jikelele weThimba Lobunjiniyela Bezinhlelo Zesofthiwe ku-Software and Advanced Technology Group Division ye-Intel, ishicilele incwadi echaza izizathu zalokhu kutholwa.
“Lokhu kutholwa kukhombisa ukuzibophezela kwe-Intel ekusekeleni i-Linux kernel kanye nomphakathi wonkana. I-Software iyimboni yokukhula ye-Intel futhi sikholelwa ukuthi i-software ecosystem ephumelelayo kufanele ivuleke ukuze ichume. […] U-Linutronix wabelana ngale nkolelo nokuzibophezela okujulile kwe-Intel ekuqhubekiseleni phambili i-Linux ecosystem evulekile.”
» I-Linutronix izoqhubeka nokusebenza njengenkampani ezimele ngaphakathi kwesigaba sethu sesofthiwe, eholwa ngu-Egger no-Gleixner. Ngibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisana neqembu lonke le-Linutronix ukuze uvule amathuba phambi kwethu njengoba siphishekela umbono wethu ofanayo. ukuze uthole i-ecosystem eqinile evulekile esekelwe ku-Linux.
Kulabo abangazi I-Linutronix, kufanele bazi ukuthi lokhu yinkampani ephethe ukwengamela ukuthuthukiswa kwegatsha le-RT le-Linux kernel (“Realtime-Preempt”, PREEMPT_RT noma “-rt”), igxile ekusetshenzisweni kumasistimu esikhathi sangempela.
Ngenkathi i-Intel noma i-Linutronix bengadalulanga imiphumela yezezimali Esivumelwaneni sabo, u-Skarpness uphinde waqinisekisa ukuthi i-Intel ivumile ukuqhubeka nokweseka iphrojekthi ye-PREEMPT_RT, yathi ikholelwa ukuthi "iwucezu lobuchwepheshe olubalulekile oluzosetshenziswa ezindaweni eziningi."
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, U-Linutronix uthe mayelana nokutholwa:
“Thina (…) siyaziqhenya ngokuba yilungu lomndeni wakwa-Intel. Ngaphezu kweminyaka eyi-10 sisebenze ndawonye ne-Intel ukwenza isoftware yomthombo ovulekile ibe yimpumelelo." Inkampani izoqhubeka njengengxenye ezimele ye-Intel esikhathini esizayo.
U-Scarpness uthe ukutholwa kungumnikelo we-Intel ekusekeleni i-Linux kernel kanye nomphakathi we-Linux uwonke. Ngokwenza kanjalo, le nhlangano "ijulisa ubuhlobo obude nethimba elihlonishwayo lochwepheshe be-Linux abadumile emhlabeni wonke."
I-Intel ithembise ukuthi iLinutronix izoqhubeka nokusebenza njengebhizinisi elizimele elinophiko lwesoftware.
I-CTO ye-Linutronix nguThomas Gleixner, obengomunye wabanakekeli abakhulu be-Linux kernel isikhathi eside. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, isebenza ezintweni ze-x86 zaleyo kernel, kufaka phakathi i-RT-Preempt. I-Intel igcizelela ukuthi, okwamanje, izoqhubeka nokubona i-Linutronix njengenkampani ezimele ngaphakathi kwengalo yesoftware ye-Intel, noGleixner ephethe izintambo.
Ngokutholwa, i-Intel ithi ifuna ukugxila kakhulu ekuthuthukisweni kweLinux, ikakhulukazi i-kernel.
“I-Intel ikholelwa ukuthi i-software ecosystem ephumelelayo kumele ivulwe ukuze ikhule. I-Linutronix yabelana ngale nkolelo kanye nokuzimisela kwe-Intel ukukhulisa indawo evulekile ye-Linux ecosystem," kubhala inkampani.
Ukutholwa kwe-Linutronix kuthuthukisa amakhono e-Intel endaweni yomthombo ovulekile futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, kuyivumela ukuthi igoduke nabasebenzi abanamakhono aphezulu.
Ngokuthola i-Linutronix, sijulisa ubudlelwano bethu obunesikhathi eside nethimba elihlonishwa kakhulu lochwepheshe be-Linux abadume umhlaba wonke, okungeza ububanzi nokujula okumangalisayo kwethalente le-Intel le-hardware nesofthiwe. I-Linutronix izoqhubeka nokusebenza njengenkampani ezimele ngaphakathi kwesigaba sethu sesofthiwe, eholwa ngu-Egger no-Gleixner.
Ngibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisana nalo lonke ithimba le-Linutronix ukuze uvule amathuba phambi kwethu njengoba siphishekela umbono wethu ofanayo we-ecosystem eqinile esekelwe ku-Linux.
Okokugcina, uma ungathanda ukwazi okwengeziwe ngenothi, ungabheka imininingwane Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
Angithandi ukucupha iBlock emakhasini akhuluma ngomthombo ovulekile, ngicabanga ukuthi kubalulekile ukusiza ukuze ukwazi ukukhokhela izindleko, kodwa ngoNkulunkulu, njengoba unezimemezelo akukho okunye ngaphandle kokuyivula.
