I just bought this board and when I cabled it up and applied power, the hyperterm display showed Redboot progress getting as far as uncompressing the Linux image before apparently rebooting from the start. The quickstart guide claims that after loading the linux kernel and root filesystem into memory, linux will starts up, and booting will be completed, and a shell prompt for linux will appea...

I was idly looking to see what was out there in the low end Linux space - something bigger than an ESP32 but more production friendly than a Raspberry Pi. I came across this excellent guide: https://jaycarlson.net/embedded-linux/ He builds dev boards for 10 different chips from 7 vendors, just to see how it all goes - both hardware and software. The results are quite interesting. An...

I'm playing with a Raspberry system, however I think my question is about Linux embedded in general. We all know that the OS (linux or windows or whatever) *should* be gracefully powered down with a shutdown procedure (shutdown command in Linux). We must avoid cutting the power abruptly. If this is possible for desktop systems, IMHO it's impossible to achieve in embedded systems. Th...
