  • Embedded Linux Primer: a Practical Real-World Approach
    Embedded Linux Primer: A Practical, Real-World Approach By Christopher Hallinan ............................................... Publisher: Prentice Hall Pub Date: September 18, 2006 Print ISBN-10: 0-13-167984-8 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-13-167984-9 Pages: 576 Table of Contents | Index Comprehensive Real-World Guidance for Every Embedded Developer and Engineer This book brings together indispensable knowledge for building efficient, high-value, Linux-based embedded products: information that has never been assembled in one place before. Drawing on years of experience as an embedded Linux consultant and field application engineer, Christopher Hallinan offers solutions for the specific technical issues you're most likely to face, demonstrates how to build an effective embedded Linux environment, and shows how to use it as productively as possible. Hallinan begins by touring a typical Linux-based embedded system, introducing key concepts and components, and calling attention to differences between Linux and traditional embedded environments. Writing from the embedded developer's viewpoint, he thoroughly addresses issues ranging from kernel building and initialization to bootloaders, device drivers to file systems. Hallinan thoroughly covers the increasingly popular BusyBox utilities; presents a step-by-step walkthrough of porting Linux to custom boards; and introduces real-time configuration via CONFIG_RT--one of today's most exciting developments in embedded Linux. You'll find especially detailed coverage of using development tools to analyze

  • For Smartphones?
    15.912 TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY SPRING SEMESTER 2005 FINAL PAPER SHOULD MOTOROLA EMBRACE 100% THE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) FOR SMARTPHONES? Silvia Battigelli Alberto Farronato Carlos Mazariegos 15.912 - Technology Strategy Final Paper 1. Introduction In a period when the market for mobile devices is changing and moving towards convergence of multiple products into one single device, it is time for the big players in all related industries to reconsider their strategy to capture more of the value that convergence will create. Motorola, the second largest manufacturer of mobile handsets, recently adopted a new open source OS in a completely new market, such as the one of smartphones in China, and the question is: should they strongly adopt the new standard in all of the new products and in all of the markets? We believe that the answer is yes, and in this paper we will explain why. 2. An Overview of Motorola Motorola was originally founded as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928 by Paul V. Galvin and his brother Joseph E. Galvin in Chicago, Illinois. Galvin Manufacturing Corporation's first product was a battery eliminator, a device that allows battery-powered radios to run on standard household electric current. In the 1930’s the company introduced one of the first commercially successful car radios and a single-frequency mobile radio receiver for police broadcasts. The company had just entered into the new field of mobile radio communications with net annual sales of $287,256. In the 1940’s, after Galvin Manufacturing Corporation becomes Motorola and offers first public stock, and into the 1950’s Motorola kept growing with new technological and commercial innovations in radio devices, television and personal pagers.
