TimeSys(R) Leverages Expertise in Cross-Development to Offer Technical Webinars for Embedded Linux.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, announces a continuation of its embedded Linux webinar series with an additional set of new technical Webinars focused on cross-development. TimeSys offers its services through LinuxLink subscriptions, which include a number of cross-development tools that simplify embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. development. Each session will explore cross-compilation and build challenges, highlight TimeSys tools for addressing these challenges, and enable live interaction with technical experts from TimeSys. Topics covered in this new Webinar series include: Using automake and autoconf Most open source packages use automake and autoconf utilities to simplify building binaries on a wide-range of target systems. When configuration files are created with cross-compilation as a goal, automake and autoconf make the process of cross-compiling your software for embedded Linux targets nearly effortless ef·fort·less adj. Calling for, requiring, or showing little or no effort. See Synonyms at easy. ef  fort·less·ly adv. . However, cross-compilation continues to be a painful task for most open source packages. This webinar looks at automake and autoconf from an embedded engineer's perspective and presents ways to make your software more cross-compile 'friendly'. It will also discuss techniques and work arounds for projects that haven't been built with this usage pattern in mind.

Floppy disks rotate at 300 RPM, while hard disks rotate from 3,000 to 15,000 RPM. as Your Build Environment The RPM package management software not only helps you install packages on a system, but also provides an easy way to manage the patch and build process. This webinar steps you through the process of creating a project that can be cross-compiled with RPM's build utility, rpmbuild. In addition, the webinar shows how LinuxLink tsrpm tool greatly simplifies this process for embedded developers by handling the complexities of using RPMs in a cross-compilation environment.

(compiler, programming) GCC - The GNU Compiler Collection, which currently contains front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj, etc). for Embedded Developers Linux development wouldn't happen without GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection The GNU Compiler Collection (usually shortened to GCC) is a set of compilers produced for various programming languages by the GNU Project. GCC is a key component of the GNU toolchain, and as well as being the official compiler of the GNU system, GCC has been adopted as the . Using a GCC-based cross-compiler, there are some tricks of the trade that every embedded developer should know in order to properly configure See configuration. (software) configure - A program by Richard Stallman to discover properties of the current platform and to set up make to compile and install gcc. Cygnus configure was a similar system developed by K. GCC for their project and to be able to correctly diagnose diagnose /di·ag·nose/ (di´ag-nos) to identify or recognize a disease. di·ag·nose v. 1. To distinguish or identify a disease by diagnosis. 2. problems when they occur. This webinar looks at how you can tweak To make minor adjustments in an electronic system or in a software program in order to improve performance. See calibrate. 1. tweak - To change slightly, usually in reference to a value. Also used synonymously with twiddle. your GCC cross-compiler configuration to ease compilation and deployment, and also explores what options GCC includes that can help you diagnose problems when they occur.
