Embedded Systems Developers Migrating to Intel Architecture - New Evans Data Survey ShowsSANTA CRUZ, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- The majority of developers working on embedded systems in North America and the Asia Pacific regions are planning to migrate to a different hardware architecture, according to Evans Data Corp's new Global Development Survey, a worldwide survey of over 1300 software developers published last month. In addition, Intel (News - Alert) was identified as the maker of the hardware architecture that would be targeted by the largest pluralities in North America, 29%, and Asia Pacific 34%. The EMEA region (Europe Middle East and Africa) was the only region in which a majority of embedded systems developers did not plan to migrate, and was also the only region in which ARM (News - Alert) was the most cited planned architecture for those who would be migrating, 27%. "ARM's strength is in Europe where they have long cultivated a strong following of developers," said Janel Garvin (News - Alert), CEO of Evans Data Corp. "However, Intel has the edge in North America, and has apparently swept the fast growing Asia-Pacific regin as well, where we actually see the stronger intentions for Intel adoption than in any other region." IBM (News - Alert) is also recognized by developers as a likely migration target for embedded systems and places second in every region. The Global Development Survey is conducted twice a year and focuses on a range of subjects, such as platforms, languages, embedded systems, mobile development, APIs, and other development topics. Other highlights from this annual survey include: * Twenty-seven percent of North American developers are using HTML5 and another 48.9% intend to. * Almost half (48.8%) of developers in APAC plan to target mobile device screens. * Java is considered the top mash-up language in EMEA with over 30% preferring it.
