New Compact Computer released from C Data Solutions. C Data Solutions who developed a complete uclinux SBC in CompactFlash format has released the successor. The new computer call CoCo (Compact Computer) is a direct result of customer feedback. It is still in CompactFlash format (42*37*5mm) but increases performance and features. This allows it to address many new application areas. It is based on the Analog Devices BF533 Blackfin processor. Entry level systems are clocked at 500MHz with...

OK, I spent some time hacking on the ewiki stuff today and got it opened again. Hopefully, my hacks will keep those stupid spammers away. Thanks Rick for the nudge.

The Embedded Systems Lab at Lanzhou University, China, has published three detailed, example-filled articles about Linux kernel debugging tools and tactics. The papers cover GCOV code coverage tools, kernel function instrumentation, and runtime debugging, and were written by Nicholaus McGuire, who now teaches at Lanzhou University.Free articles cover Linux kernel debugging tools, techniques

I came across this handy little UAV that runs on a Gumstix sbc and talks to a linux laptop via bluetooth. 1. Introduction RC model helicopter prices have reached a point where all sorts of challenging (i.e. crash-prone) robotics projects become affordable. This document explains how to build a 300 g, 3D-capable helicopter with embedded Linux and Bluetooth datalink for less than 500 EUR. As a proof of concept, we provide software which allows the helicopter to be remotely controlled over B...

For the past three months, this website's ewiki pages have been hammered by some stupid spammer from China. I've had to turn off access to the ewiki until I get a chance to update the software. Sorry about the inconvience.
