Embedded Linux file system management: Tooling for success
As budgets decrease, product life cycles shorten, and more features are packed into electronic devices, developers are feeling the pressure to deliver advanced software.
While Linux and open source are often the right choices for embedded development, they cannot work magic.
Some costs are still associated with selecting open source development tools.
In deciding which tools to use, developers must consider if they are spending their time on t...

Open source opens doors for improved development
The complexity of today's embedded devices is causing a shift in how developers approach designing the software that drives these systems.
Dr. Inder M. Singh will address how this shift is transforming the embedded landscape and explain how open standards, open source elements, and specific technologies such as Linux and Eclipse development tools are facilitating a more efficient development process.

Real-time Linux, past and present
Linux traditionally has been considered a general-purpose server or desktop Operating System (OS), and as a result is often viewed as incapable of true real-time functionality.
However, this assumption has proven false on multiple occasions.
In fact, various Linux approaches begin with a dual OS, Linux, and Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and continue down the path of low latency, resulting in Linux as the RTOS.
Typical real-time approaches...

White paper: Accelerating the Development of Embedded Linux Devices with JTAG On-Chip Debugging
Debugging embedded Linux products has traditionally required a mixture of hardware and software tools—JTAG tools for hardware bring-up and agent-based solutions for software development.
These JTAG- and agent-based tools often solved point problems but were not designed for integrated Linux development. ''Wind River has changed the way developers can debug Linux by merging traditional JTAG hardware debugging with Linux kernel configurati...

White Paper: Best Practices on the Power of Wind River Linux Layers
Embedded systems often have multiple components with sufficient complexity to require independent development teams.
The use of layers system.
Vital to the Wind River Linux platforms and the Wind River Linux build system is the use of layers for embedded system development.
Layers reduce integration efforts by allowing developers to maintain excellent isolation between components.
Layers make it easy to locate and review all the changes you...

White Paper: Best Practices on Wind River Real-Time Core Application Development
Wind River Real-Time Core for Linux enables hard real-time response for various applications.
The industry considers this technology one of the best, most mature hard real-time Linux solutions available today.
Real-Time Core includes a hard real-time executive that coexists with the Wind River Linux kernel. ''Hard real-time considers response time rather than bandwidth guarantee.
For example, it is imperative for an application to respond to...
