> Annoyingly enough, when we asked MediaTek if we could buy use their chipset, they would only sell it to us with their OS running on top.
I hit the same thing with Freescale too. I think it's that they don't want to deal with support calls for unsupported software.
It was surreal hearing their rep tell us that the chip was specifically designed for only FreeRTOS, Linux, & WinCE and physically could not run anything else. Like, we just want to run our in house RTOS; we're quite used to having to write our own BSP.
