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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I won’t attempt to define the Internet of Things (IoT). Given its current state of development, many technologies and communication protocols still need to be defined. However, that’s also why there ...

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.

For this example I use Linux kernel version 2.2.17. The 2.4.0-test8 kernel that I tried did not size the RAM disk for the root file system properly, leading to a ``not enough memory'' message at boot ...

The embedded systems industry is constantly evolving. In my 20 years in the industry, embedded devices have gone from resource-constrained monolithic designs running on 8-bit microcontrollers to today ...
