Today’s Diminutive Device is a small castellated System-On-Module (Twitter link, nitter proxy) from [MangoPi] called M-Core, with a quad-core A53 CPU and 1 GB of RAM. As such, it’s very capable of ...

Microchip Technology Inc. unveils a new System on Module (SOM) featuring the SAMA5D2 MPU, which greatly simplifies design by integrating the power management, non-volatile boot memory, Ethernet PHY ...

Kernel modules are chunks of code that are loaded and unloaded into the kernel as needed, thus extending the functionality of the kernel without requiring a reboot. In fact, unless users inquire about ...

Arm’s Cortex-A family handles heavy-duty operating systems like Linux, while the Cortex-M microcontroller typically runs an RTOS. Designing a system for a Cortex-M tends to be relatively easy compared ...

Editor's Note: Linux remains an attractive option for embedded systems developers. In fact, industry surveys such as the Embedded Market Study by UBM (EDN's parent company) consistently show interest ...

Artila Electronics, which specializes in the development and manufacture of Linux-ready arm embedded industrial computers, is pleased to announce Artila's new SODIMM module based on NXP i.MX6ULL ARM ...

Linux is in everything these days, and that means designers and engineers are crying out for a simple, easy-to-use module that simplifies the design of building a product to do something with Linux.

One amazing thing about Linux is that the same code base is used for a different range of computing systems, from supercomputers to very tiny embedded devices. If you stop for a second and think about ...

Linux, renowned for its robustness and flexibility, owes much of its adaptability to kernel modules. These modules are critical components that extend the kernel’s capabilities without requiring a ...
