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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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: ...

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 ...

Should you choose Linux or Windows for your next embedded project? Before you begin an embedded project, you have a number of choices to make. Some of these decisions about hardware will be ...

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 ...
