Application Scenarios: Scenarios requiring high scalability, network services, or graphical interfaces (e.g., industrial automation, edge computing).
Features: Rich open-source ecosystem, support for multiple hardware drivers, and ease of developing custom applications.

Possible Options: AIX (developed by IBM, possibly involved in early Motorola products), Solaris (less common).
Application Scenarios: Traditional high-end industrial or telecommunications equipment (gradually being replaced by Linux/RTOS in recent years).

Proprietary Systems: Lightweight systems customized by manufacturers for specific hardware (refer to manufacturer documentation).
Bare Metal Operation: Runs only user-defined firmware or applications, suitable for simple-functionality, resource-constrained scenarios.

Early products in the Motorola MVME series were mostly based on PowerPC processors (e.g., MPC750, MPC824x). The compatibility of such architectures with operating systems requires matching compilers and bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot).
If the architecture is x86 (subject to confirmation by model), it is more versatile and can support Windows Embedded or Linux.

Industrial Control: Tends to use RTOS (e.g., VxWorks) or embedded Linux.
Communication Equipment: May use QNX or customized Linux.
Consumer Electronics/Prototype Development: May support desktop systems like Ubuntu (hardware-dependent).
