Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

The Linux operating system is set to become the de facto standard for "embedded" devices like robotics, information appliances and automobile information systems, but fragmentation could prove a ...

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 ...

Despite the somewhat subdued mood of this year's big West Coast LinuxWorld, there was near-universal agreement that one thing seemed to have grown stronger over the past six to twelve months: embedded ...

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 ...

This course provides an introduction to Kernel programming for the Linux operating system, and the development of Linux kernel drivers for Embedded devices. The Yocto build system is introduced, which ...

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...
