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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Kernel 6.18 brings enhanced hardware support: updated and new drivers for many platforms across architectures (x86_64, ARM, RISC-V, MIPS, etc.), including improvements for GPUs, CPU power management, ...

This engineering specialization provides students with the fundamentals of embedded operating systems including a working understanding of how to configure and deploy a Linux based Embedded System.

Lynuxworks LynxSecure 5.0 separation kernel and hypervisor runs unmodified operating systems such as Microsoft Windows next to para-virtualized OSes. Lynuxworks LynxSecure 5.0 separation kernel and ...

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 ...

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 ...
