A brief description about "Advanced Embedded Systems Using Linux and ARM".
This program is designed to prepare the engineering graduates with requisite technical skills so as to incorporate intelligence into the Embedded and electro-mechanical devices. The engineers should be able to do the automation for the complete process.
During this program we would concentrate on C, Shell Scripting, Linux Internals, Embedded Linuc, ARM.
Embedded Linux is the use of Linux in embedded computer systems such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, media players, set-top boxes, and other consumer electronics devices, networking equipment, machine control, industrial automation, navigation equipment and medical instruments. According to survey conducted by Venture Development Corporation, Linux was used by 38% of embedded engineers.
Linux is the version of Linux running on processors with a Memory Management Unit (MMU). Processors without MMU can run a modified version of Linux called uClinux. The uClinux tab provides pre-built uClinux images for specific ARM processors
Key benefits of Linux on ARM
- Complete scalable operating system providing a reliable multi-tasking environment
- Based on an open source model (GPL)
- Leverage a wide range of UNIX and open source applications
- Early availability on ARM processor-based platforms
- Used in many ARM technology-based designs including networking and wireless space
- Broad support through open discussion forums
The power, stability, reliability, flexibility, and scalability of Linux, combined with its support for a multitude of microprocessor architectures, hardware devices, graphics support, and communications protocols have established Linux as an increasingly popular software platform for a vast array of projects, devices and products. Use of Linux spans the full spectrum of computing applications that are vastly scalable, from tiny Linux wrist watch, to hand-held devices like PDAs, cell phones and consumer entertainment systems, to Internet appliances, thin clients, firewalls, robotics, telephony infrastructure equipment, and even to cluster-based supercomputers.
Despite the origins of Linux as a PC architecture operating system, It is now ported to numerous non-x86 CPUs, with and without memory management units, including PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, 68K, and even microcontrollers. And there's more coming, all the time!
Future Prospects:
The number of devices with embedded intelligence is growing exponentially, and with them the demand for an integrated operating system. Embedded Linux is a Linux-based operating system that is encapsulated by or dedicated to a device or system. It is included in commercially available products or hardware—such as cell phones, media players, firewalls, industrial control systems and other devices. Its functionality is limited to the equirements of the device.
The ARM family of processors has continued its growth with 30% of the readers using it, while 25% are using x86 variants. ARM overtook x86 three years ago; that trend looks to be continuing with respondents seeing 31% ARM versus 23% x86 over the next two years. Kingman said that he thinks Intel is trying to reverse that trend because spending on consumer devices is predicted to "outstrip IT spending".
