  • Apollo Twin USB Hardware Manual
    Apollo Twin USB Hardware Manual Manual Version 210429 www.uaudio.com A Letter from Bill Putnam Jr. Thank you for deciding to make the Apollo Twin High-Resolution Interface part of your music making experience. We know that any new piece of gear requires an investment of time and money — and our goal is to make your investment pay off. The fact that we get to play a part in your creative process is what makes our efforts meaningful, and we thank you for this. In many ways, the Apollo family of audio interface products represent the best examples of what Universal Audio has stood for over its long history; from UA’s original founding in the 1950s by my father, through our current vision of delivering the best of both analog and digital audio technologies. Starting with its high-quality analog I/O, Apollo Twin’s superior sonic performance serves as its foundation. This is just the beginning however, as Apollo Twin is the only desktop audio interface that allows you to run UAD plug-ins in real time. Want to monitor yourself through a Neve® console channel strip while tracking bass through a classic Fairchild or LA-2A compressor? Or how about tracking vocals through a Studer® tape machine with some added Lexicon® reverb?* With our growing library of more than 90 UAD plug-ins, the choices are limitless. At UA, we are dedicated to the idea that this powerful technology should ultimately serve the creative process — not be a barrier. These are the very ideals my father embodied as he invented audio equipment to solve problems in the studio.

    www.it-ebooks.info www.it-ebooks.info Praise for Embedded Android “This is the definitive book for anyone wanting to create a system based on Android. If you don’t work for Google and you are working with the low-level Android interfaces, you need this book.” —Greg Kroah-Hartman, Core Linux Kernel Developer “If you or your team works on creating custom Android images, devices, or ROM mods, you want this book! Other than the source code itself, this is the only place where you’ll find an explanation of how Android works, how the Android build system works, and an overall view of how Android is put together. I especially like the chapters on the build system and frameworks (4, 6, and 7), where there are many nuggets of information from the AOSP source that are hard to reverse-engineer. This book will save you and your team a lot of time. I wish we had it back when our teams were starting on the Frozen Yogurt version of Android two years ago. This book is likely to become required reading for new team members working on Intel Android stacks for the Intel reference phones.” —Mark Gross, Android/Linux Kernel Architect, Platform System Integration/Mobile Communications Group/Intel Corporation “Karim methodically knocks out the many mysteries Android poses to embedded system developers. This book is a practical treatment of working with the open source software project on all classes of devices, beyond just consumer phones and tablets. I’m personally pleased to see so many examples provided on affordable hardware, namely BeagleBone, not just on emulators.” —Jason Kridner, Sitara Software Architecture Manager at Texas Instruments and cofounder of BeagleBoard.org “This book contains information that previously took hundreds of hours for my engineers to discover.

  • Configuring the Information Environment of Microcomputers with the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System
    Configuring the Information Environment of Microcomputers with the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System Felix Kasparinsky[0000-0002-1048-9212] MASTER-MULTIMEDIA Ltd, Entuziastov Shosse 98-3-274, Moscow 111531, Russia [email protected] Abstract. Since 2015, microcomputers have appeared in the information envi- ronment, which are a compact system unit with minimal functionality without peripherals. The article published the results of the analysis of the use of 6 dif- ferent microcomputers in various fields of activity. The purpose of the study is to determine the limiting factors affecting the efficiency of the targeted use of microcomputers. It has been established that for scientific and educational presentations, office and trading activities, it is cur-rently advisable to use fan- less microcomputers with a perforated case and an internal WiFi antenna, at least 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of permanent memory, and a microSD (TF) memory card slot, at least 128 GB, NTFS file system), Intel HD Graphics, USB3.0 and HDMI interfaces. Based on comparative experiments, methodolog- ical recommendations were created on optimizing the configuration of the hardware-software environment of microcomputers in stationary and mobile conditions. The problems of major updates to Windows 10, as well as the com- patibility of Microsoft Store software and third-party manufacturers, are ana- lyzed. It is recommended to specialize individual microcomputers for working with 32-bit applications; accounting and cryptographic programs; as well as conducting presentations with their video. Options for optimal configuration of the Start menu of the Windows 10 desktop are suggested. It is concluded that specialization in the hardware-software configuration of modern microcomput- ers allows you to increase the efficiency of using single de-vices and their paired systems in accordance with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).

  • Tethering an Android Smartphone to USB Devices
    Tethering an Android Smartphone to USB Devices March 2011 [email protected] Veteran Owned Small Business DUNS: 003083420 CAGE: 4SX48 http://www.securecommconsulting.com 1.1. Purpose This paper presents a brief background of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the architecture of USB drivers in the Linux operating system. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief explanation of the technical issues involved in making an Android smart phone operate as a USB Host, and properly connect and interoperate with USB devices. 1.2 General Background The Universal Serial Bus (USB) architecture includes a USB Host and a USB Device. The Host is the master and controls the communication between itself and all of its connected USB Devices. Normally1, smart phones are considered USB devices, and are connected to personal computers (PCs) or laptops. However, a popular topic of late is the tethering of an Android smart phone to a USB device (i.e. the smart phone becomes the USB host). This is due to increased demand for smart phone applications that utilize external USB devices (such as mass storage devices, keyboards, and even external networking devices like radios). As a USB Device, a smart phone cannot connect to other USB devices; therefore, to enable smart phones to connect to either a USB device or a USB host, smart phone USB drivers must be modified to support USB OTG (On-The-Go) as depicted in Figure 1. USB OTG allows a component to take on the role of either a USB Host or a USB Device, whichever is best suited for the currently connected gadgets.
