Vía Wikipedia me entero de que los modelos Bravia de las televisiones con tecnología LCD de Sony usan un kernel modificado de Linux junto con otros componentes del software libre:

Internals

According to the licenses supplied with the Bravia (model KDL-40V2500 and presumably other models) the device runs at least partially on embedded Linux and utilizes other free software and publicly available software components.

GPL and LGPL software components

• MontaVista Linux Kernel
• busybox
• insmod
• libuClibc.so
• ld.so
• libc.so
• libm.so
• libpthread.so
• libgcc_s.so
• libstdc++.so

Source code for the above can be obtained from within Sony's web site.

Other software components

• libjpg.so
• OpenSSL (or portions thereof)

Y que además éstos pueden ser actualizados vía USB:

Upgrading and maintenance

The software can be upgraded via a USB type A interface located behind a cover labeled "service only".

2006 - 2007 models may be updated using an MS -Memory Stick, or USB. Depending upon the country and TV standard the Tuner may need a Service Device to update it.

It appears that units manufactured through November 2005 for sale in Asia and North America contained a software bug that prevented the device from powering up/down after 1200 hours.^[7] A free upgrade is available.^[8]

El kernel está hecho por la empresa MontaVista Linux. He aquí uno de los famosos comerciales llamado “Paint”:
