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 ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Linux has consistently ranked among the top operating systems used in embedded system design. With the rapid growth in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), the ability 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: ...

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 ...

Although Intel provides the greatest user base for Linux, many other architectures are supported. These include ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, Alpha, SPARC and Hitachi. The availability of cheap x86 hardware ...

I won’t attempt to define the Internet of Things (IoT). Given its current state of development, many technologies and communication protocols still need to be defined. However, that’s also why there ...

Hyperstone AG, together with Global Digital Technologies SA, announced today the availability of embedded Linux. Konstanz, Germany - 31st July 2003 - hyLinux is a uClinux compliant embedded Linux ...

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 ...

Configuration is the first step in building a kernel. There are many ways and various options to choose from. The kernel will generate a .config file at the end of the process and generate a series of ...
