Introduction to developing embedded Linux device drivers

Through this you’ll better understand the tools and process of designing smart, connected products. You’ll connect LEDs, buttons, and knobs, then program a micro-controller to define behavior. Starting from zero, this hands-on workshop explores smart hardware prototyping using a micro-controller and basic electronic components. Prototypes allow us to see, touch, feel, and refine ideas and designs. And we must-to avert impending frustration for increasingly savvy consumers. It’s a disappointment for the Open Source Community, but we can lead the way to freedom, transparency, and collaboration in IoT. This isn’t the future that free and open source contributors have been working toward.

The Internet of Things is built on open source software, and yet the devices are far from open. How can we build a computer that’s resilient to some of the more subtle attacks such as firmware modification?Ĭlosed devices powered by open source software? The IoT Paradox. In addition to Matthew’s TPM CloudOS talk, there were a few other interesting talks:Īs we become more and more reliant on our computers, attackers become more and more sophisticated. OSCON2015, the O’Reilly Open Source Convention, just ended. Personally, I wish the FSF would partner with OSHWA and focus on Open Hardware, instead of splintering the few non-closed hardware resources/efforts/funds. The FSF needs to - first define, then… - fund Free Hardware, if they’re going in a separate direction from OSHWA’s Open Hardware. Going further, the FSF and Linux Foundation need to proactively start building the missing components, not waiting for Intel/ARM and OEMs to create Open Hardware, there’s little motivation for them to change their ways and their IP policies. I am *VERY* eager to see more startups creating Open Hardware-based systems! I am looking forward to a few years from now when RISC-V-based devices start showing up on CrowdSupply…!

And third, Crowd Supply and the FSF will work together to promote and launch new software and hardware products that adhere to FSF’s guiding principles, with the first project to be announced soon.”

“The FSF has selected Crowd Supply as its preferred crowdfunding platform, and will recommend Crowd Supply to hardware and software creators looking to crowdfund, sell or purchase products online. Crowd Supply has helped new hardware startups and “Micro OEMs” like Bunnie Studios’ Novena, Purism’s Librem, and Inverse Path’s USB Armory. Crowd Supply, the crowfunding platform for Open Hardware OEMs, was blessed this week by RMS and the FSF.
