How to bring fully distributed and secure communication capabilities to embedded products and IOT (Part 2). In a previous article, we presented our work on including Jami in Yocto. This was a huge step to make Jami available on all types of devices. But this Yocto layer was only usable for x86 architectures. In fact, […]
How to bring fully distributed and secure communication capabilities to embedded products and IOT (Part 1). Jami is a communication tool developed by Savoir-faire Linux. It is available for Windows, MacOS, standard Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora and smartphones (Android and iOS). In order to give the opportunity to use Jami in embedded products […]
A previous article was dealing with recommendations concerning the set up Linux RT and its application software. This article will provide an industrial use case and focus on the performance measurement on a dedicated hardware. A Practical Demonstration SFL performed tests to demonstrate these principles on a custom board containing a Cirrus Logic EP9302 […]
Using Linux with the PREEMPT_RT option can make it possible to run a modern, secure kernel on an older, limited performance single board computer (SBC), perhaps avoiding a costly hardware upgrade campaign. This topic will be addressed in two parts. The first article will consider Real-Time Linux implementation in the kernel. The second article will […]
The first article in this series presented the motivations and advantages of embedding a container image into a Linux embedded system and considered the challenges that this new paradigm brings up. The second article presented different approaches to embed a container into the Yocto build system, with Docker engine installed on the target machine. A […]
Key takeways: The PREEMPT_RT patchset enables Linux to meet real-time requirements. Different settings allow compromise between latency and data throughput. A minimal Board Support Package (BSP) and distribution can improve latencies. Kernel security hardening measures have a limited impact on latencies. Real-time systems and Linux Systems that are required to guarantee a response to an […]
In the previous article, we talked about the motivations and upsides to embed a container image into a Linux embedded system as well as the challenges this paradigm brings up in a general way. In this article, our perspective is focused on different approaches based on the Yocto build system with Docker engine, installed on […]
The use of containers is not a new idea and nowadays several container solutions for Linux embedded systems are available such as BalenaOS, Linux microPlatform or Torizon from Toradex. These projects provide a Linux system with a Docker based infrastructure to run and manage containers along with many tools to provide an easy developer user […]
Liferay gives us the possibility to add Oauth (OpenId connect) authentication out of the box. It’s also possible to give access to third-party applications via Oauth authentication. But what if you don’t want your user to log in to your portal with Oauth but still give them the possibility to enhance their experience by connecting […]
