I've spent some 25 years developing software on CP/M, various 80s home computers and finally, DOS and Windows. Now (coinciding, ahem, with the release of Vista...) I think it's way past time that I looked at Linux (and perhaps one of the BSDs) as a development platform. What I'd like to find out is what folks are using to develop on Linux. In particular, what editors or IDEs are you using...

Programming a somewhat compute-intensive and time-critical application on an embedded ARM-9 system, running Linux. I need a clock in the low tens of milliseconds for triggering synchronous functions, ie. while (1) { if Timeout (say 30mS) { reset timer do some stuff } } The standard Linux itimer functions and callback mechanism will s...

Hi everyone, I am new bie to linux. I just with the requirment of porting a simple helloworld program on to my AT91RM9200EK board. But now my requirement has changed to porting of linux kernal to the target. I stated googling only to end up in confusion. please help me in clarifying things. 1) We can build our own cross compiler, but why is ti neccessary, why not a prebuilt version satisfy a...

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...

One of the most common I receive - "Can you help me run Linux on my 8051", or more often than not "Can u plz give me source code for Linux on my 8051, waiting your reply. Urgent. Thx". I've just been looking at the search stats for last month on the FreeRTOS.org site, and believe it or not, the number one search with more than 50 entries (so more than once a day!) is "Linux 8051". I wo...

Hello! I just got an Zilog eZ80 development board. It just works fine with Windows, but at home I am running Linux. So, does anyone know, if there exists a (free) compiler for the eZ80 for Linux? Wine fails to run the Setup.exe. I also searched the Web with goole, without success so far. :-( Wolfgang

Hi all, I have released under GPL some code that some of you might find useful. 1) fconfig It is a Linux application to read and modify RedBoot configuration. I created it when I needed to synchronize Linux configuration (MAC and IP addresses, UART baudrate, etc.) with RedBoot config. 2) ee24 It is a Linux MTD driver (kernel 2.6.x) for 24XX series of I2C eeproms. It supports EEPRO...

I'm converting an application from Windows console to Linux, and the changeover has gone remarkably easily (considering that I know very little about Linux), until now. No problem installing GCC, KDevelop, FTDI USB drivers, remarkably few changes to recompile the code... but printf fails after about half-a-dozen calls. A float value prints as "nan"- not a number I asume, rather than w...

http://www.embedded-forecast.com/EMFTCD2003v3.pdf Someone quoting the report is not good enough, I need solid figures as per the origonal report, preferably supporting linux. This is by no means meant to start linux v MS flamewar, just providing management with costing info and direction on a new product.

Hi, I'm going to be doing some PIC32 development and I'd love to do it under linux if I'm able. We have a PIC32MX and the Microchip ICD2 "hockey puck" JTAG. I don't care so much about an IDE - I'd rather build my stuff using emacs/gnumake. But what I need are: 1. A cross-compiler/assembler/linker that runs under linux 2. The debugger. Keep in mind we also have the MPLAB software ...

Hi I have always feels that , the open source software more unstable. Especially when I use Linux, there are always many problems, and most of them are hard to solve. Such as eclipse for linux, I have tried it on some linux, like ubuntu, suse, I felt that , it's more unstable than windows edition. Do you have the same feeling? why is this could happen?

I've been shown a new dev kit for the AVR AT327000 that uses embedded linux and I wanted to get advice and opinions on this processor. I'm not familiar with AVR processors at all. I'd like to use the GCC compiler. Is this well supported? Does anyone know who's done the Linux port and is it well supported? I'd like to use this also outside of an embedded linux environment. Is it a go...

We are seeing lots of low-cost Linux laptops latetely, most of them with sub-Gigaherz processors. These are fine for simple tasks but not for watching video and audio/video streaming and editing. I was wondering if it would be possible to team up the CPU with a low-cost DSP by altering the Linux operating system and maybe even the applicatons in such a way that you can watch MPEG2 and MP...

Dear all, I'd like to build my own prototype board based on Renesas SH-3 DSP (SH7727) that could be ready to run embedded Linux on. I know how the memory structure (types of memories and address assignment) should be done as far as I write my own bios but I'd like it to be also ready for embedded Linux. I have found many software examples in this matter but could not find any hardware...

Dear All I am a rookie to Linux. I have two units of two-way Linux router Boxes {Platform: iDirect iDS Platform (XScale)} BOX "A" is ok. No problems. While BOX "B" had some errors so I had a thought to format the flash I init the BOX B by using the command "fis init" I noticed that these below entries are missing (Linux and RootFS) on BOX B Redboot> Fis list Name FLA

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. -----------------------------...
