MACALESTER COLLEGE HONORS PAPER IN COMPUTER SCIENCE Porting the Embedded Xinu Operating System to the Raspberry Pi Author: Advisor: Eric Biggers Shilad Sen May 5, 2014 Abstract This thesis presents a port of a lightweight instructional operating system called Em- bedded Xinu to the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi, an inexpensive credit-card-sized computer, has attracted a large community of hobbyists, researchers, and educators since its release in 2012. However, the system-level software running on the Raspberry Pi has been restricted to two ends of a spectrum: complex modern operating systems such as Linux at one end, and very simple hobbyist operating systems or simple “bare-metal” programs at the other end.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF SECURITY AND RISK ANALYSIS BENEFITS OF CYBER SECURITY LABS ON RASPBERRY PI’S CARSON BROWN SPRING 2019 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Information Science and Technology and Security and Risk Analysis with honors in Security and Risk Analysis Reviewed and approved* by the following: Michael Hills Associate Teaching Professor of Information Sciences and Technology Thesis Supervisor Edward J. Glantz Teaching Professor of Information Sciences and Technology Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT With the growing number of cyber-attacks occurring in the world today, the need for robust cyber security education has never been greater. With many universities putting together their own respective cyber security curriculums, it is imperative to establish the most efficient ways to teach cyber security. This study intends to guide the decision makers toward using hardware, in our case Raspberry Pis, to perform labs instead of on virtual machines, which are the current standard. The beginning chapters will dive deeper into the studies purpose and explain to the reader to the current cyber security landscape. The next chapter describes how the labs and surveys were devised and explain the decision to use a Raspberry Pi as the Hardware for the study. The following chapters examine the results of the study and how they may impact future studies and curriculum. The final chapter discusses how this study can be continued and what further steps should be taken by those who believe in Raspberry Pis in the classroom.

    The Next Big Thing in Open Automation Is Here. Are You Ready? Page | 1 © Western Reserve Controls, Inc. * 1485 Exeter Dr. Akron, Ohio 44306 * 330-733-6662 * [email protected] THE NEW AUTOMATION INDUSRTY DISRUPTOR Open Controllers… Open Networks… Open I/O devices… the world of Open Architecture automation is here with the Raspberry Pi and other Single Board Computers (SBC) becoming the IBM PCs of our time. From educational projects to industry disrupting Industrial Automation applications, Open Architecture Control & I/O Systems are changing the way many OEMs and Systems Integrators are thinking when it comes to implementing their next automation project. At WRC we believe the next 3-5 years will tell if this new generation of low cost SBCs and connected I/O will change the Automation Industry competitive landscape or fade away like so many other over-hyped automation technologies that have come and gone before. No matter what happens, when you hear people call When you hear people call SBCs SBCs like the Raspberry Pi a “prototyping platform”, like the Raspberry Pi a “prototyping a “hobbyist toy” or an “educational tool,” just platform”, a “hobbyist toy” or an remember what they said about the IBM PC. We’re “educational tool,” just remember going to start seeing these low-cost SBCs what they said about the IBM PC. everywhere and there’s no turning back! So the question is: Will your automation business be ready to take advantage of this new technology or become a victim of it like the once large corporations that fell to the lowly IBM PC? For example, if you’re a controls supplier, machine builder, Systems Integrator or End User there’s no doubt small, low-cost, SBCs like the Raspberry Pi will have an impact on your business in the next 3-5 years.

Lawrence December 2007 15 JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0FD United Kingdom phone +44 1223 763500 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/ c 2007 Alan C.

Technical reports published by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory are freely available via the Internet: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/ ISSN 1476-2986 Abstract Most modern compilers are based on variants of the Control Flow Graph. Developments on this representation—specifically, SSA form and the Program Dependence Graph (PDG)—have focused on adding and refining data dependence information, and these suggest the next step is to use a purely data-dependence-based representation such as the VDG (Ernst et al.) or VSDG (Johnson et al.). This thesis studies such representations, identifying key differences in the information car- ried by the VSDG and several restricted forms of PDG, which relate to functional programming and continuations. We unify these representations in a new framework for specifying the shar- ing of resources across a computation. We study the problems posed by using the VSDG, and argue that existing techniques have not solved the sequentialization problem of mapping VSDGs back to CFGs.
