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 ...
One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...
Embedded systems are getting a lot out of Linux. What has to happen to get patches back to the core kernel? In many ways, Andrew Morton’s keynote set the tone for this year’s Embedded Linux Conference ...
USB 2.0, about forty times faster than conventional USB, makes its debut in Linux 2.6. The high speed USB devices support device bandwidth of up to 480 megabits per second, compared to 12 mbit/sec of ...
The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...
Green Hu posted a patch to support the NDS32 architecture. He described the current status as, "It is able to boot to shell and passes most LTP-2017 testsuites in nds32 AE3XX platform." Arnd Bergmann ...
