TimeSys(R) Extends Webinar Series on Embedded Linux Development in Response to Popular Demand.PITTSBURGH -- TimeSys(R) Corporation, the leading developer service provider for the embedded Linux The Linux operating system configured and enhanced to work in a wide variety of applications, including handheld devices, network appliances, industrial machines and consumer electronics devices. The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. market, will extend the complimentary, interactive, educational Webinar series to cover specific technical topics of interest in the embedded Linux market. Each session will target a particular focus area with the opportunity for attendees to interact with the technical area experts from TimeSys. The Webinar series has been extended based on the popularity of previous sessions and feedback provided by participants in the Developer Exchange, the online, interactive forum available to LinuxLink subscribers. A broad range of topics are covered in this series and include: LinuxLink: Moving Beyond the Embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. Distro This is an introductory LinuxLink webinar for users who have worked with a free or commercial embedded Linux distribution before. We will walk through an embedded Linux development cycle that demonstrates how LinuxLink can be used effectively to start your embedded dev key embedded development and help you to be productive as you execute your project. Topics include patching and compiling the Linux kernel The nucleus of the Linux operating system. The Linux kernel, which was developed by Linus Torvalds, was integrated with software from the GNU Project and other sources to create the actual Linux operating system. See Linux, GNU/Linux and kernel. , assembling a root file system (RFS (Remote File System) A distributed file system for Unix computers introduced by AT&T in 1986 with Unix System V Release 3.0. It is similar to Sun's NFS, but only for Unix systems. ) from pre-compiled binary RPMs, cross-compiling a source RPM (1) (Revolutions Per Minute) With electric and electronics devices, RPM measures the rotational speed of the motor's spindle. Floppy disks rotate at 300 RPM, while hard disks rotate from 3,000 to 15,000 RPM. , adding it to an RFS and more.

This webinar walks the audience through the process of setting up a cygwin based host environment for embedded Linux development. The session will step through the process of installing (or updating) cygwin distributions, setting up host services, and troubleshooting Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving. It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved. Troubleshooting is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. commonly encountered problems in this process.

For some it is 32 MB, for others it is less than 2MB. This webinar will guide attendees through the process of customizing the Linux kernel, the Linux root file system, and configuration of packages such as uclibc and busybox to meet your footprint needs.

It is the closest part to the machine level and may activate the hardware directly or interface to another software layer that drives the hardware. and Root File System for Your Evaluation Board Attendees of this Webinar will learn how to speed and simplify RFS configuration by learning how to create and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. a Linux kernel loadable kernel module In computing, loadable kernel modules, or LKM, are object files that contain code to extend the running kernel, or so-called base kernel, of an operating system. , and RFS and see how to design and optimize target RFS images for an application.
