Editor's Note: The embedded Linux kernel already play a vital role in embedded systems and stands to grow in importance in serving the diverse requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT). In turn, ...

Kernel drivers are the bridge between the Linux operating system and the hardware components of a computer. They play a crucial role in managing and facilitating communication between the OS and ...

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Linux has consistently ranked among the top operating systems used in embedded system design. With the rapid growth in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), the ability of ...

This paper describes a methodology for automatically generating device drivers for embedded systems. We formally specify the device behavior and attributes in an input specification called DPS (Device ...

In theory, writing a Linux device driver shouldn’t be that hard, but it is harder than it looks. However, using libusb, you can easily deal with USB devices from user space, which, for many purposes, ...

Editor's Note: Linux remains an attractive option for embedded systems developers. In fact, industry surveys such as the Embedded Market Study by UBM (EDN's parent company) consistently show interest ...
