ELCE 2011 videos are out
As usual, FreeElectrons hosts the videos of the Embedded Linux Conference Europe, together with the presented material: Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2011 videos Here is a personal selection of videos that I find most interesting: Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox, Thomas Gleixner, Paul McKenney moderated by Lennart Poettering Kernel Developer Panel Video (55 minutes): full HD […]
Codesourcery toolchains have new site at Mentor Graphics
October 8, 2011
This completely slipped under my radar: Mentor Graphics acquired CodeSourcery’s toolchain products some time ago. I found out when I got to their site and it redirected me to Mentor. In my tutorials I often make use of the Lite editions of the Codesourcery toolchains, so this is the new site for reference: Sourcery CodeBench […]
Using CodeSourcery bare metal toolchain for Cortex-M3
September 3, 2011
Using the CodeSourcery arm-none-eabi toolchain to compile a minimal "Hello World" example for Stellaris lm3s6965 microcontroller. The microcontroller is emulated through QEMU and the output is written to a serial port.
Compiling Linux kernel 3.0 with Emdebian ARM toolchain
July 24, 2011
The Emdebian project works to bring Debian on embedded platforms, with repositories of custom distributions and toolchains to cross-compile software. I wanted to try their ARM toolchains, and coincidentally the Linux kernel 3.0 has been released in these days, so I tried to cross-compile it and emulate it on QEMU. These tests have been done […]
Inline assembly instructions in GCC
May 17, 2011
In embedded software programming there’s often the need to use assembly-level instructions to reach all the functionalities of the processing core. But when the developing is done almost exclusively in C, it is sometimes a burden, often an added complexity and possibly a nuisance to code separate assembly files containing the needed functions. Other than […]
Programming Arduino Uno in pure C
March 29, 2011
Playing with Arduino board and its graphical development environment I felt the urge to work closer to the hardware, stepping away from the default library and the Java IDE and using the compiler directly from the command line. Fortunately all the tools are there, because the Arduino IDE uses them under the hood. So I […]
Capturing an analog signal with Arduino and python
March 26, 2011
Last week I salvaged a magnetic sensor from a stationary bike and connected it to my Arduino Uno in order to analyze the sensor’s behavior with the ADC converters. I wanted to capture a good enough signal, so I searched about the Arduino capabilities: From analogRead() reference description: It takes about 100 microseconds (0.0001 […]
Videos of last Embedded Linux Conference are out
March 21, 2011
Last October the Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE) 2010 was held in Cambridge (UK). Today the videos of that conference are available on Free Electrons site. My Top-5 of the most interesting videos is as follows: Panda board demonstration, Rekha Kumar and Nipuna Gunasekera (Texas Instruments): Video Software Considerations When Using High-Performance Memory Systems, Leif […]
ZPUino open source processor
March 6, 2011
ZPUino is a project that offers a microprocessor that can be put on FPGA, and that can be programmed with a simple IDE. Everything is open source: the toolchain, the IDE and the VHDL code; and it can be downloaded freely. The hardware architecture is based on the ZPU (Zylin CPU), which is a processor […]
Using Newlib in ARM bare metal programs
December 16, 2010
Implementing a minimal standard C library for embedded ARM target using Newlib and the CodeSourcery toolchain, and emulating the execution with QEMU.
