Hi everyone, I am very new to Embedded Linux. I know that the MMU handles all of the address translations from Virtual to Physical. My question is that how does the MMU know which physical addresses actually have RAM? Is this information provided by the CPU? Kernel? Bootloader? For example, if I have a board with the first bank of 64MB DRAM mapped to 0xa0000000 and second bank of 64MB DRA...

Greetings, I am examining a case for a new RT/embedded OS in today's situation. I would like to get a simple YES/NO answer from embedded developers. Suppose that you are starting a new project. You are considering to use embedded Linux and you offered an RT/embedded OS by a vendor John Doe Inc. The RTOS is proposed in complete source code, uses GNU toolchain to build and development lice...

I would like to know what is the most popular Embedded GUI Design Software for Linux thesedays. I need a GUI for an embedded linux device, which has a LCD with about a quarter of VGA size. Of course an attractive interface is preferred, as long as it doesn't take huge resource and development efforts (we are not game developers anyway). Our GUI developer have years of experience of designing GUIs ...

I am developing an embedded linux system, and I would like a "Swiss-Army-Knife" tools utility like BusyBox in place. I am using Wind River Linux 4.0, and to protect our business, some of our source codes won't be open, at least for now. However, the developers of BusyBox is sueing around to collect money, so I am looking for an equivalent. Any information will be highly appreciated. Thank you for ...

Hi there, We are porting a windows application from desktop into embedded Linux on Atmel AT91 ARM Cores, thus we need JTAG to debug the firmware under a Linux environment. However, SAM-ICE only connects via USB to a PC running Microsoft Windows2000 or XP. So I am looking for a JTAG emulator running on Linux. If you have any good idea/knowledge, could you please help? BTW, a frien...

Hi am a beginner in Embedded Linux in C. I need to know how to video stream real time in linux using ARM. I know the c language and socket programming but I need help in learning embedded programming using RTP/UDP. So far, I can't seem to find the right book or website to help or teach me. Any help or suggestion is most welcomed. Thank you. -----------------------------...

Hi, what's the best board for learning embedded linux. I'd like a small not-too-expensive board which comes with a manual and examples that takes me step by step from the basics to the advanced level. I'd like to learn as much as possible about it and take advantage of free libraries to interface with various peripherals (act as a usb host, save to an SD card, save to a usb attached...

Hi, I want to design a gateway platform for home automation application that can expose its services to WLAN. The platform should also be able to support the Bluetooth connectivity. I am thinking to use an embedded Linux OS to enable it to execute the libupnp (UPnP SDK for linux) application for service discovery. Can any one suggest me a suitable embedded linux development board, more close...

http://www.embedded-masterclass.com Hi, just to let you know that we are running the Embedded Masterclass again this. Thanks to all of you that supported it last year. We are re-running the Embedded Linux workshop, as we were oversubscribed last year - also workshops on GUI development, Software Timing Analysis and MisraC++. Various 'useful' technical presentations and an exhibition...

Hello everybody, I'm new to embedded linux development. I want to write some routines that need 1uS timer resolution. I understand that the ARM9 processors have 16 bit hardware timers. How do one use these timers in linux from 'C'. Anybody have any example code? If I was writing is Assembly, as I do with PICS, it would probably be easy.. but this is the first time working with ARM9 and Li...

A new open source project has started with the aim of producing an open framework for embedded Linux based video camera systems. http://www.opennetcam.net/ Developers in this project will get to play in a very diverse sandbox. The framework itself will be layered on top of the ultra lightweight SIMPL toolkit (http://www.icanprogram.com/simpl) and when completed will be essentially a ...

I'm trying to get started on a project getting Linux running on what's only kinda sorta an embedded system: a Celeron mini-iTX board with 256M of RAM. Boot drive is a 1GB CF card. On one hand, I've got all of the advice for people trying to put together a truly embedded system with much tighter resource restrictions that I've got, generally involving cross-compilers and recommendations t...

We would like to access a embedded (linux based) device behind a corporate firewall in a production facility. We would like to have telnet / ssh access to the device, but offcoarse our client doesn't want to open any ports so we can access our device. Only outgoing http/https ports are opened towards the internet. We can install a server at our office with a fixed WAN ip adres where th...

I'm getting a freebie Atmel NGW100 Network Gateway Kit shortly, and I had a few questions. I plan to use the board to learn embedded Linux, and also learn some other OSs like FreeRTOS and uC/OS-II, and in the process build an adaptive cruise control whose software will run under all three of those OSs. Then I plan to release the whole thing to anyone who wants to build one for themselve...

Hi Friends, I am having an ARM target(S3C2440A)with TFT LCD. Now currently I am running 2.4 kernel on this target and we developed the LCD drivers also and able to disply some images on the LCD at the time of Linux booting. Now my main intention is to run Xwindows(X11R6 protocol). Can anybody guide how can i build Xwindows to run on ARM target. I want detailed steps for this. Regards ...

I'm designing a device that can display high resolution (at least 1080i or 1280x1024) images to a LCD monitor. I don't think that much 2D/3D acceleration is needed for this purpose. Lower hardware cost is the first priority, although ease of development is important too. What is the best route? 1. Microprocessor only, to run embedded Linux and software-based display controller 2. Micr...

Hello, I'm currently making the initial design decisions (and hence the most important ones) about a project, which will involve a processor running Linux. The project's initial definition is to take data from an MPEG video chipset and store the stream in a long file on a Disk-on- Key. So the concept is simple: Write a driver for whatever video hardware we're going to choose (still not ...

A quick web search did not lead to joy: What to folks do about securing their code in an embedded Linux system?
