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 ...

A newly released update to Linux delivers kernel pre-emption, improved scheduling, and a Posix (Portable Operating System Interface for Unix) for enhanced real-time performance. Depending on the ...

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 ...

This article is sponsored by Technologic Systems. Here are some tips compiled from our seasoned engineers on what they wish they'd known about embedded Linux back when they were "newbs". Newcomers and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
