OS Selection for Dummies OS SELECTION HOW TO CHOOSE HOW TO CHOOSE Choosing your OS is the first step, so take the time to consider your choice fully. There are many parameters to take into account: l Is this a new project or the evolution of an existing product? l Using the same SW stack? Re-using existing code? l Is your team familiar with a particular OS? Ø Using an OS you are already comfortable with can help l What are the HW constraints of your system? Ø Some operating systems require more memory/processing power than others l Have no SW team? Not sure about the above? Ø Contact us so we can help you decide! Ø We can also introduce you to one of our many partners! 1 OS SELECTION OPEN SOURCE VS.

    Hands-on Kernel Lab Based on the Yocto Project 1.4 release (dylan) April 2013 Tom Zanussi <[email protected]> Darren Hart <[email protected]> Introduction Welcome to the Yocto Project Hands-on Kernel Lab! During this session you will learn how to work effectively with the Linux kernel within the Yocto Project. The 'Hands-on Kernel Lab' is actually a series of labs that will cover the following topics: • Creating and using a traditional kernel recipe (lab1) • Using 'bitbake -c menuconfig' to modify the kernel configuration and replace the defconfig with the new configuration (lab1) • Adding a kernel module to the kernel source and configuring it as a built-in module by adding options to the kernel defconfig (lab1) • Creating and using a linux-yocto-based kernel (lab2) • Adding a kernel module to the kernel source and configuring it as a built-in module using linux-yocto 'config fragments' (lab2) • Using the linux-yocto kernel as an LTSI kernel (configuring in an item added by the LTSI kernel which is merged into linux-yocto) (lab2) • Using an arbitrary git-based kernel via the linux-yocto-custom kernel recipe (lab3) • Adding a kernel module to the kernel source of an arbitrary git-based kernel and configuring it as a loadable module using 'config fragments' (lab3) • Actually getting the module into the image and autoloading it on boot (lab3) • Using a local clone of an arbitrary git-based kernel via the linux-yocto- custom kernel recipe to demonstrate a typical development workflow (lab4) • Modifying the locally cloned custom

Many thanks to Thomas Sommer, my project partner, for his contribution to our good work. I also want to thank also Bernard Blackham for his assistance by email and phone at any time. In my opinion, it was a great cooperation of all persons taking part in this project. Abstract Embedded systems can be found in more and more devices. Linux as a free operating system is also becoming more and more important in embedded applications. Linux even replaces other operating systems in certain areas (e.g. mobile phones). This thesis deals with the employment of Linux in embedded systems. Various architectures of embedded systems are introduced and the characteristics of common operating systems for these devices are reviewed. The architecture of Linux is examined by looking at the particular components such as kernel, standard C libraries and POSIX tools for embedded systems. Furthermore, there is a survey of real-time extensions for the Linux kernel. The thesis also treats software development for embedded Linux ranging from the prerequi- sites for compiling software to the debugging of binaries.

  • Building Meego with OBS an Introduction to the Meego Build Infrastructure
    » The Linux Foundation Building MeeGo with OBS An Introduction to the MeeGo Build Infrastructure .................. By Rudolf Streif, The Linux Foundation June 2011 A Publication By The Linux Foundation Characters from the MeeGo Project (http://www.meego.com) http://www.linuxfoundation.org Background Building a Linux distribution from scratch can be a daunting task. Besides the obligatory Linux kernel itself with its myriad of configuration options, a working Linux distribution requires hundreds if not thousands of additional packages to form a viable platform for desktop, server, mobile or any other type of specialized applications. For embedded Linux solutions, the complexity scales with the need to support multiple and different processor architectures, hardware platforms with limited resources, requirements for cross toolchains, and more. The MeeGo project leverages the strengths of the Open Build Service (OBS) for distribution and application development. MeeGo has established a 6-months release cadence mounting two releases per year in April and October in addition to maintenance releases in-between. To support this, the MeeGo OBS environment builds bootable MeeGo images for the various MeeGo device categories and user experiences (Handset, Netbook, Tablet PC, In-vehicle Infotainment, and Smart TV) targeting multiple different hardware platforms for IA, ARM, etc. For application development, the MeeGo OBS allows developers to easily build their software packages utilizing the same infrastructure the MeeGo distributions were built with, validating dependencies and providing binary compliance. In this whitepaper, we will provide a brief introduction to the MeeGo build infrastructure and how it is utilized to support the MeeGo development process. Then we demonstrate the use of the OBS WebUI and the command-line client osc with step-by-step instructions.
