Yes.

They were using VxWorks, for a rumored $40/unit royalty cost, and
ported to both FreeBSD and Linux.

The other rumor is that the reason they chose FreeBSD over Linux
was as the result of some unspecified "bake off".

I don't know very much about it, other than that.  You may want to
contact long time BSD'er Jeffrey Hsu (they guy who released the
first PIC patches for GCC in support of my LKM [released] and BSD
style [torpedoed by Novell's purchase of USL] shared libraries),
since he was consulting for them a while back.
