Editor's Note: Linux remains an attractive option for embedded systems developers. In fact, industry surveys such as the Embedded Market Study by UBM (EDN's parent company) consistently show interest ...
A new interface for implementing device drivers outside the kernel has one project saving about 5,000 lines of code. The concept of supporting user-space drivers has appeared on LWN a few times before ...
Kernel drivers are the bridge between the Linux operating system and the hardware components of a computer. They play a crucial role in managing and facilitating communication between the OS and ...
Editor's Note: Embedded Linux has consistently ranked among the top operating systems used in embedded systems design. With the rapid growth in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), the ability of ...
A computer cannot meet its requirements unless it communicates with its external devices. An interrupt is a communication gateway between the device and a processor. The allocation of an interrupt ...
Small Linux-based devices often need to load firmware before a filesystem is available. A new kernel feature would replace driver-specific code with a general API for getting all needed firmware up ...
