News from the Fast Moving World of Embedded Linux tomers and other Internet appliance and Linux software developers will benefit from the new website because it leverages open source technology into non-X86 platforms and ports. Software developers are encouraged to contribute to the embedded, real-time kernel. Content for the website will consist of the real-time kernel source code, documentation, mailing lists and links to similar, helpful Linux websites. Coollogic encourages those interested in the operating system to become contributors to the site, in order to maximize usage of the RT kernel and acceptance of embedded Linux operating systems. “The promotion of the free software as a serious solution and alternative to other operating systems is essential to the success of embedded Linux,” said Powers. Other content to be developed for the site includes directories of News from the fast moving world of compatible hardware and software, online bug tracking, and Embedded Linux . online version control.

    Module Introduction PURPOSE: The intent of this module is to provide an overview of the MPC5200. OBJECTIVES: - Identify the MPC5200 Block Diagram - Identify the MPC5200 Target Markets - Describe HiP7 Technology - Describe Core Features - Describe System Level Features CONTENT: - 28 pages - 5 questions LEARNING TIME: - 55 minutes The intent of this module is to provide you with an overview of the MPC5200 microcontroller. You will become familiar with the MPC5200 and its target markets. You will also learn about the composition of the MPC5200 by studying its block diagram. Finally, you will explore the core and system level features of the of the MPC5200. 1 MPC5200 Overview Designed with automotive/telematics applications in mind Runs at higher clock, bus, and CPU speeds Handles a tremendous range of applications Welcome to the MPC5200. This processor provides very high performance in automotive and other embedded environments. This device has been designed with automotive and telematics applications in mind. What is new about the MPC5200? Generally, automotive class processors have not run at the clock speeds seen in the MPC5200. The external bus speeds of this device are up to 132 MHz and the internal execution speed for the CPU is up to 400 MHz. This provides the horsepower to do voice recognition, graphics processing and wireless communications. The MPC5200 is not just for automotive applications. In fact, this device will handle a tremendous range of applications. This is mainly due to the wide range of communications peripherals and timers, as well as the processing power provided by the 603 G2_LE core that uses the PowerPCTM instruction set.

  • Adoption and Use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Globally: an Overview and Analysis of Selected Countries
    Vol. 3 No. 1 & 2 (2019): Zambia Journal of Library & Information Science (ZAJLIS) Adoption and Use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Globally: An Overview and Analysis of Selected Countries Tuesday Bwalya [email protected]/ [email protected] Dr. Akakandelwa Akakandelwa [email protected]/ [email protected] Department of Library and Information Science The University of Zambia Dr. Milena Dobreva-McPherson [email protected]/ [email protected] Associate Professor in Library and Information Studies University College London (UCL) Qatar Abstract Institutions, individuals and countries are migrating from commercial software (CS) to FOSS mostly because of two reasons: the increase of costs of purchase and maintenance of commercial software against the backdrop of global economic meltdown, and the increased commitment to open content and technologies in key domains such as research and education. In this regard, some governments have implemented policies that compel government departments, public institutions, and quasi-government institutions to adopt FOSS. The purpose of this article is to summarise the outcomes of a study of an international team of researchers that explores FOSS adoption and policies in some selected countries across the globe. The study is a desk research and qualitative descriptive in nature. Literature on 13 countries’ FOSS policies and adoption was collected and analysed in order to accurately describe the adoption of FOSS in the selected countries. The study findings show that many countries have adopted FOSS because it is less costly in comparison to commercial software. Furthermore, the study identified that countries have approached FOSS policy formulation and implementation in varied ways.
