The Challenges of Embedded Linux

Explore the unique challenges of running Linux as an embedded operating system in this 47-minute conference talk from NDC TechTown 2023. Delve into the key differences between Embedded Linux and "Normal" Linux, focusing on hardware constraints, real-time computing requirements, and robust update mechanisms. Learn about cross-compilation techniques using build tools like Yocto Project to overcome limited hardware resources. Discover how modern Linux handles soft and hard real-time computing for sensor-based applications. Gain insights into creating reliable update processes, error logging, and recovery methods for devices without on-site administrators. Broaden your understanding of the specialized world of Embedded Linux and its applications in the devices that surround us.
