| Euro Embedded Linux Expo to be held in Stockholm in March |
Feb. 01, 2002
Zaltbommel, The Netherlands -- (press release excerpt) -- ACTIVE Exhibitions Europe is pleased to announced the next European Embedded Linux Expo & Conference (ELEC), which will be held in Stockholm this March.
The ELEC offers inside views, products and services by users, manufacturers, service providers, and suppliers who provide the attendees with possible solutions, and a comprehensive overview of actual experiences. The Stockholm event includes two days of workshops (5 and 7 March) and a conference and exhibition on 6 March at the Prime Point in Stockholm Arlanda Airport Sweden.
5 March -- Workshop: Embedded Linux Fundamentals Tutorial -- Dr. Kevin Dankwardt, Founder and President of K Computing will instruct this in-depth technical workshop on the following topics. Covers the fundamentals of embedded Linux for developers and assumes no prior Linux experience. - Describe and customize the Linux boot sequence
- Build a custom, reduced size Linux kernel
- Build a complete file system
- Create a bootable Linux floppy complete with a filesystem
- Install and configure a web server
- Compile, link, and insert kernel modules, including sound and NIC drivers.
- Compile, link, and debug programs using gcc, ld and gdb.
- Use busybox, a small web server, small libraries and other special software designed for embedded Linux systems -- Use real-time solutions such as RTAI, RTLinux, and Linux/RK
- Describe many tradeoffs for real-time solutions, including kernel vs. user space, high precision timing, guaranteed maximum interrupt latency times, priority inversion avoidance, preemption, and deterministic scheduling
- Use soft real-time solutions that involve low latency patches, improved scheduling, and POSIX API calls

7 March, Workshop -- Embedded Linux Advanced Tutorial -- Dr. Kevin Dankwardt, Founder and President of K Computing will instruct this in-depth technical workshop. This full day covers advanced topics of embedded Linux for developers. Prior Unix or Linux experience is beneficial. The Embedded Linux fundamentals Tutorial presented on March 5th is sufficient preparation. The in-depth technical workshop will include the following topics: - Explain comparative issues between Embedded QT, and Microwindows
- Cross compile Linux applications for x86, PowerPC, and MIPS.
- Boot from a remote device
- Use boot loaders for non-Intel architectures
- Use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically
- Use Root NFS
- Use kernel debuggers such as kdb and kgdb
- Use Flash devices such as DiskOnChip
- Perform safe field upgrades of system software, including the kernel
- Use file systems such as ROMfs, Cramfs, RamDIsk, and ReiserFS
- Compare small libraries such as uC-Libc and newlib to Glibc.
- Develop an application that uses system calls directly, without library wrappers
- Write a basic device driver
- Explain basic device driver concepts such as how one communicates with a driver, how to register a character driver, and task queues.

FUEL Database on MontaVista Linux
Whether building a mobile handset, a car navigation system, a package tracking device, or a home entertainment console, developers need capable software systems, including an operating system, development tools, and supporting libraries, to gain maximum benefit from their hardware platform and to meet aggressive time-to-market goals.
Breaking New Ground: The Evolution of Linux Clustering
With a platform comprising a complete Linux distribution, enhanced for clustering, and tailored for HPC, Penguin Computing¿s Scyld Software provides the building blocks for organizations from enterprises to workgroups to deploy, manage, and maintain Linux clusters, regardless of their size.
Data Monitoring with NightStar LX
Unlike ordinary debuggers, NightStar LX doesn¿t leave you stranded in the dark. It¿s more than just a debugger, it¿s a whole suite of integrated diagnostic tools designed for time-critical Linux applications to reduce test time, increase productivity and lower costs. You can debug, monitor, analyze and tune with minimal intrusion, so you see real execution behavior. And that¿s positively illuminating.
