TimeSys Expands Educational Webinar Series for Embedded Linux Development.PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh (pĭts`bərg), city (1990 pop. 369,879), seat of Allegheny co., SW Pa., at the confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela rivers, which there form the Ohio River; inc. 1816. -- TimeSys Corporation (http://www.timesys.com), 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, is adding more sessions to its popular series of educational webinars for embedded Linux developers. Running through March and April, the new topics cover best practices for embedded Linux development through an examination of project risk and the benefits of a common toolset. Later sessions in the series look at technology choices for developers building devices with a graphical interface See GUI. and an in-depth in-depth adj. Detailed; thorough: an in-depth study. in-depth Adjective detailed or thorough: an in-depth analysis look at the QEMU QEMU is a fast processor emulator, written by Fabrice Bellard, which allows full virtualization of a PC system within another one. It is free software. In particular, the QEMU virtual CPU core library (libqemu.a) is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL). processor emulator Hardware, software or a combination of the two that enables a computer to act like another computer and run applications written for that computer. In the past, it was often a hardware add-on that actually contained an instruction execution module for the emulated computer. . These new sessions complement the dozens of webinars TimeSys has held over the past year. Past topics have covered a wide variety of embedded Linux topics for all skill levels and each session is available for playback Playback could mean:

Using LinuxLink to Reduce Project Risk A detailed discussion around the risks in an embedded Linux project and how using LinuxLink addresses those risks. Enumerates the risk points, some less obvious than others, that every project manager responsible for an embedded Linux deliverable should know and understand. Shows what LinuxLink offers to mitigate risks without the loss of freedom typical of traditional embedded Linux distributions. March 20, 2007 1:00 pm EDT (10:00 am PDT, 5:00 pm GMT Standard Time) https://timesys.webex.com/timesys/onstage/g.php?d=357548748&t=a Adopting a Common Embedded Linux Toolset Managers of engineering divisions using open source frequently find their departments wrestling with issues around managing several different Linux distributions. Some solutions may be created from scratch, others based on an open source distribution, while others from a commercial vendor. TimeSys understands and embraces this model by providing a flexible tool set designed to integrate into an existing project while still providing all of the necessary components for new projects. March 29, 2007 1:00 pm EDT (10:00 am PDT, 5:00 pm GMT Standard Time) https://timesys.webex.com/timesys/onstage/g.php?d=350527206&t=a Building an Embedded device with a GUI Evaluates the alternatives you can use to create an embedded device with a GUI. This session covers several different approaches, providing the details you need to select the right approach for your next project. The webinar will include a hands-on example of using open source components to create a GUI-based platform for a typical embedded board. April 12, 2007 1:00 pm EDT (10:00 am PDT, 5:00 pm GMT Standard Time) https://timesys.webex.com/timesys/onstage/g.php?d=357931472&t=a QEMU for Embedded Linux Engineers QEMU may be the most important project that you haven't heard of yet. QEMU is a processor emulator that has quietly been making strides in supporting architectures used by embedded engineers, so you can run your natively compiled PowerPC or ARM code on your x86 development host, or even run the "native" gcc compiler on a much faster host system, eliminating the pitfalls behind cross-compiling. The webinar will discuss QEMU features, processor support, benefits and drawbacks.

In 1991 Linus Torvalds of Finland began asking for volunteer programmers over the Internet to collaborate on the development of a UNIX-like OS for personal computers; the “1. platform. The continuously updated cross-compiled components, information and systems offered through LinuxLink subscriptions are aggregated from the open source community, semiconductor manufacturers and TimeSys and hosted in the LinuxLink Developer Network.
