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

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 ...

The system virtual machine can be used to make Linux-based applications faster and more responsive and secure. Here's a primer to get you started. Linux is rapidly becoming the operating system of ...

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 ...

It is no secret that Linux has won the race in the embedded device marketplace. Tremendous advantages in Linux have broken almost every barrier to entry for using Linux on embedded systems across a ...

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 ...

Editor's Note: Linux remains an attractive option for embedded systems developers. In fact, industry surveys such as the Embedded Market Study by UBM (EDN's parent company) consistently show interest ...

The augmentation of number of gates on chip makes SOC design more difficult. So we have to work on SOC design tools to make designer work easier and manage all the available gates. We propose an ...

If you write code for Linux systems, chances are you will have used the venerable GNU Debugger (GDB). Acting as a back end for many GUIs and the interface to various JTAG debugging tools in the ...

Raspberry Pi has introduced and released the new Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. I happen to have four Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 devices on my bench along with a couple of Raspberry Pi Compute ...
