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 ...

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

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: ...

The world of intelligent devices is changing dramatically. The computerized devices around us are getting smarter; they're increasingly connected and interdependent, and they're becoming vastly more ...

Just as it did in the server world before, the Linux craze is starting to sweep through the communication sector. All around the industry, tiny Linux penguins are popping up. Andwith them, designers ...

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 ...

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 ...

Consumers are becoming more conversant with the use of the Linux operating system embedded in many of their products, such as auto accessories, remote controls and cell phones. An even bigger secret ...

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 ...
