  • Troubleshooting Passwords
    Troubleshooting Passwords The following procedures may be used to troubleshoot password problems: • Performing Password Recovery with an Existing Administrator, page 1 • Performing Password Recovery with No Existing Administrator, page 1 • Performing Password Recovery for the Linux Grapevine User Account, page 2 Performing Password Recovery with an Existing Administrator To perform password recovery for a user (administrator, installer or observer) where there exists at least one controller administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) user account, take the following steps: 1 Contact the existing administrator to set up a temporary password for the user that requires password recovery. Note The administrator can set up a temporary password by deleting the user's account and then recreating it with the lost password. The user can then log back into the controller to regain access and change the password once again to whatever he or she desires. 2 The user then needs to log into the controller with the temporary password and change the password. Note Passwords are changed in the controller GUI using the Change Password window. For information about changing passwords, see Chapter 4, Managing Users and Roles in the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module Configuration Guide. Performing Password Recovery with No Existing Administrator The following procedure describes how to perform password recovery where there exists only one controller administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) user account and this account cannot be successfully logged into.

  • Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems
    Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems Abstract: Chapter 3 provides a complete coverage on operating systems booting. It explains the booting principle and the booting sequence of various kinds of bootable devices. These include booting from floppy disk, hard disk, CDROM and USB drives. Instead of writing a customized booter to boot up only MTX, it shows how to develop booter programs to boot up real operating systems, such as Linux, from a variety of bootable devices. In particular, it shows how to boot up generic Linux bzImage kernels with initial ramdisk support. It is shown that the hard disk and CDROM booters developed in this book are comparable to GRUB and isolinux in performance. In addition, it demonstrates the booter programs by sample systems. 3.1. Booting Booting, which is short for bootstrap, refers to the process of loading an operating system image into computer memory and starting up the operating system. As such, it is the first step to run an operating system. Despite its importance and widespread interests among computer users, the subject of booting is rarely discussed in operating system books. Information on booting are usually scattered and, in most cases, incomplete. A systematic treatment of the booting process has been lacking. The purpose of this chapter is to try to fill this void. In this chapter, we shall discuss the booting principle and show how to write booter programs to boot up real operating systems. As one might expect, the booting process is highly machine dependent. To be more specific, we shall only consider the booting process of Intel x86 based PCs.

  • Download Android Os for Phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives to Android
    download android os for phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives To Android. It’s no exaggeration to say that open source operating systems rule the world of mobile devices. Android is still an open-source project, after all. But, due to the bundle of proprietary software that comes along with Android on consumer devices, many people don’t consider it an open source operating system. So, what are the alternatives to Android? iOS? Maybe, but I am primarily interested in open-source alternatives to Android. I am going to list not one, not two, but several alternatives, Linux-based mobile OSes . Top Open Source alternatives to Android (and iOS) Let’s see what open source mobile operating systems are available. Just to mention, the list is not in any hierarchical or chronological order . 1. Plasma Mobile. A few years back, KDE announced its open source mobile OS, Plasma Mobile. Plasma Mobile is the mobile version of the desktop Plasma user interface, and aims to provide convergence for KDE users. It is being actively developed, and you can even find PinePhone running on Manjaro ARM while using KDE Plasma Mobile UI if you want to get your hands on a smartphone. 2. postmarketOS. PostmarketOS (pmOS for short) is a touch-optimized, pre-configured Alpine Linux with its own packages, which can be installed on smartphones. The idea is to enable a 10-year life cycle for smartphones. You probably already know that, after a few years, Android and iOS stop providing updates for older smartphones. At the same time, you can run Linux on older computers easily.

Bechtely, Elise McEllhineyy, Minje Kim?, Heechul Yuny y University of Kansas, USA. fmbechtel, elisemmc, [email protected] ? Indiana University, USA.

DeepPicar is a small scale requires a high computing capacity as well as the means to replication of a real self-driving car called DAVE-2 by NVIDIA. guaranteeing the timings. On the other hand, the computing DAVE-2 uses a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), which takes images from a front-facing camera as input and produces hardware platform must also satisfy cost, size, weight, and car steering angles as output. DeepPicar uses the same net- power constraints, which require a highly efficient computing work architecture—9 layers, 27 million connections and 250K platform. These two conflicting requirements complicate the parameters—and can drive itself in real-time using a web camera platform selection process as observed in [25]. and a Raspberry Pi 3 quad-core platform. Using DeepPicar, we To understand what kind of computing hardware is needed analyze the Pi 3’s computing capabilities to support end-to-end deep learning based real-time control of autonomous vehicles. for AI workloads, we need a testbed and realistic workloads. We also systematically compare other contemporary embedded While using a real car-based testbed would be most ideal, it computing platforms using the DeepPicar’s CNN-based real-time is not only highly expensive, but also poses serious safety control workload.
