Linux

Describing a security strategy that pulls on best practices and standards to ensure medical device approval and the best patient outcomes.

Introducing some of the key links that support the open-source RISC-V ISA with a view toward their use on commercial projects.

How should you address the monitoring and resource challenges in maintaining security for Linux devices.

Embedded multicore systems require engineers to make choices around the hardware and software architectures, approaches to certification and more. This is a guide to the trade-offs involved and how to best leverage your options.

Accelerating software testing is vital to speeding up embedded system development, especially for Android and Linux systems running on ARM-based hardware. Virtual prototyping strategies, including the use of VDKs, can help.

This part illustrates the technique using examples addressing memory corruption, multicore systems and cache coherency with particular reference to watchpoints.

The second part of our series illustrates VP tools and techniques using the familiar example of Linux bring-up on an ARM-based SoC.

Mind how you go. The only truly free thing about open source tools is the download itself. There is, however, a 'third way', matching professional support to these often useful options.

Embedded hardware and software are experiencing exciting advances but free, open source technologies only go so far in connecting them. Help is on the way.

Yocto is a project that aims to provide the open source building blocks necessary for custom embedded Linux implementations
