  • OM-Cube Project
    OM-Cube project V. Hiribarren, N. Marchand, N. Talfer [email protected] - [email protected] - [email protected] Abstract. The OM-Cube project is composed of several components like a minimal operating system, a multi- media player, a LCD display and an infra-red controller. They should be chosen to fit the hardware of an em- bedded system. Several other similar projects can provide information on the software that can be chosen. This paper aims to examine the different available tools to build the OM-Multimedia machine. The main purpose is to explore different ways to build an embedded system that fits the hardware and fulfills the project. 1 A Minimal Operating System The operating system is the core of the embedded system, and therefore should be chosen with care. Because of its popu- larity, a Linux based system seems the best choice, but other open systems exist and should be considered. After having elected a system, all unnecessary components may be removed to get a minimal operating system. 1.1 A Linux Operating System Using a Linux kernel has several advantages. As it’s a popular kernel, many drivers and documentation are available. Linux is an open source kernel; therefore it enables anyone to modify its sources and to recompile it. Using Linux in an embedded system requires adapting the kernel to the hardware and to the system needs. A simple method for building a Linux embed- ded system is to create a partition on a development host and to mount it on a temporary mount point. This partition is filled as one goes along and then, the final distribution is put on the target host [Fich02] [LFS].

  • Mechanism: Limited Direct Execution
    6 Mechanism: Limited Direct Execution In order to virtualize the CPU, the operating system needs to some- how share the physical CPU among many jobs running seemingly at the same time. The basic idea is simple: run one process for a little while, then run another one, and so forth. By time sharing the CPU in this manner, virtualization is achieved. There are a few challenges, however, in building such virtualiza- tion machinery. The first is performance: how can we implement vir- tualization without adding excessive overhead to the system? The second is control: how can we run processes efficiently while retain- ing control over the CPU? Control is particularly important to the OS, as it is in charge of resources; without it, a process could simply run forever and take over the machine, or access information that it shouldn’t be allowed to access. Attaining performance while main- taining control is thus one of the central challenges in building an operating system. THE CRUX: HOW TO EFFICIENTLY VIRTUALIZE THE CPU WITH CONTROL The OS must virtualize the CPU in an efficient manner, but while retaining control over the system. To do so, both hardware and op- erating systems support will be required. The OS will often use a judicious bit of hardware support in order to accomplish its work effectively. 1 2 MECHANISM:LIMITED DIRECT EXECUTION 6.1 Basic Technique: Limited Direct Execution To make a program run as fast as one might expect, not surpris- ingly OS developers came up with a simple technique, which we call limited direct execution.
