In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

These GUIs also provide a schematic approach to circuit design. The circuit can be designed by dragging and dropping components from a component list onto the schematic. After this, they can be ...

How can you cover all the bases for embedded systems security? This step-by-step guide takes you through best practices. Embedded systems security is an essential concern in the modern landscape.

This course provides an overview of System Programming for the Linux operating system, or software which is interfacing directly with the Linux Kernel and C library. The basic components of a Linux ...

The complexity associated with the development of embedded systems is increasing rapidly. For instance, it is estimated that the average complexity of software projects in the automotive industry has ...

Businesses should expect to upgrade computer equipment on a regular basis; as companies expand, so do their processing and data needs, and hardware continues to evolve at a breakneck pace.

The complexity and density of electronics design has increased, partly due to the rise of the mobile industry, introducing new challenges for printed-circuit board (PCB) designers. Embedding ...

Just as in comedy, timing is essential to the success of a microcomputer design. Often it is quite possible to get one system functioning by simply interconnecting the various compo­nents. But it is ...

As we approach the pervasive-computing era in which users will have round-the-clock access to information and services from any location, embedded-system designers are under growing pressure to boost ...

Vision Components based its new VC DragonCam on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor. The company uses the computing power and price efficiency of a quad-core processor. The VC DragonCam board camera ...
