embedded Linux seminar 25-27/11 2009
On the 25-27 of november I will be on tour with nohau.se and hold a embedded linux seminar. The entrance is free, but requires a registration, see the embedded linux seminar webpage. according to the following schedule:
- Göteborg 25/11, em 13-16. Plats: Centralhuset Konferens, lokal Orientkusten
- Stockholm 26/11, em 13-16. Plats: Kista Konferens, lokal Alfa
- Oslo 27/11, fm 8-12. Plats: Thon Hotel Vika Atrium, Munkedamsveien 45, Oslo
I will specifically do the Development using Embedded Linux track, which will be 50 minutes long. The presentation is still fairly crude and rough around the edges, but some of the bulletpoints I’m going to talk about is:
- When to use Linux/ When NOT to use Linux
- Pitfalls of open source vs closed source and vice versa
- Hardware vs Development time cost decisions
- Choosing the right hardware
- Choosing the right software
- Security.
I hope to see some of you at the seminars!
Added papers section
The papers section has been added under the Documents section of the site. It currently is rather empty with only 2 semi-old papers added and two more coming within a few weeks. This is one of the reasons I actually switched over to wordpress as it enables much easier updates and additions of new material. The first paper out is about lessons learned from a embedded linux project with Freescale MCF5329 running uCLinux. The second paper is an old but cancelled IETF RFC draft I made almost 6 years ago to enable connection state transfers between multiple firewalls and/or routers for failover, high availability and load balancing reasons. This was put on ice for various reasons, but I thought it may have some value to anyone who would be interested in doing something alike. If there is any interest in carrying on the work, I’m open for questions and suggestions.
Site update finally here!
I finally got around to finishing up a new site. As some of you may remember, I started over a year ago with rewriting the entire site from scratch after a year of pretty much not having time to fix the final touches. On top of this I realized that the site would still require a lot of time to update and maintain, which I realize was not in my main interest. So I decided to try out a few “pre-built” solutions and got hooked on wordpress. This is the final setup i’m going with. I will update the site more and more, but to get the site rolling, I decided to get it published as soon as possible.
To begin with, there isn’t much new material on the site, but this will change with some time. I have several papers and smaller projects I’d like to publish, and that I will have the ability/time to publish with the new site framework. Until then, I sincerely hope you will enjoy the new site. Any comments, please let me know!
