The Linux kernel provides support for memory management, interprocess communication mechanisms, interrupt management, and TCP / IP networking. The directory structure separates architecture-dependent ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

It all started when I ordered an ARM-based development board for my FemtoLinux project, which is a Linux flavor specifically designed for ultra-small systems. Initially, I played with the idea of ...

This series on how to get started using Embedded Linux is on my Open Mike blog. This installment discusses development models. There are two different models of Embedded Linux development: ...

A large board area, high availability, and high-speed interconnections make AdvancedTCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) a viable next-generation telecom platform. More than 100 major telecom ...

It is no secret that Linux has won the race in the embedded device marketplace. Tremendous advantages in Linux have broken almost every barrier to entry for using Linux on embedded systems across a ...

Embedded Software and Hardware Architecture is a first dive into understanding embedded architectures and writing software to manipulate this hardware. You will gain experience writing low-level ...

Linux companies are incensed by a recently published Microsoft document that compares Windows XP Embedded to embedded Linux, calling some of its claims misleading or factually wrong. The document ...

Today, embedded systems are so common that you’d have a hard time looking in any direction without seeing a device which contains one – if you know where to look. Lately, a movement toward embedded as ...

A new ARM architecture for embedded chips could boost the power and precision of systems used in a variety of products, including car brakes, medical devices and factory systems. The ARMv8-R ...
