Another approach to kernel design, and one favored by the author of MINIX, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, is the microkernel architecture. A microkernel is a very small kernel running in kernel space, with ...

Success does not guarantee succession Opinion The Linux kernel is a remarkable creation. It has achieved a fundamental status ...

eT-Kernel supports all of the ARM Cortex-A, Cortex-M, and Cortex-R series. eT-Kernel offers three profiles to suit different system sizes and applications: eT-Kernel Compact, which is ideal for ...

The kernel's job is to handle the message passing, interrupt handling, low-level process management, and possibly the I/O. Examples of this design are the RC4000, Amoeba, Chorus, Mach, and the not ...

This means that code that has been submitted, reviewed, and accepted into the kernel can be considered of high quality. Part of the operation included getting Xiphera into the kernel documentation's ...

It's free, every week, in your inbox. Sign up now! But when the mainline Kernel developers looked at the code they didn’t like the design, and found the approach taken in some drivers weird.

The use of a kernel, especially an RTOS, provides the software architecture and efficiency required for this type of embedded design.

The long-awaited 2.6 Linux kernel is finally available for embedded systems. The latest incarnation of BlueCat Linux from LynuxWorks plans to use the new kernel. The 2.6 kernel is preemptible ...

This design isn't completely set in stone. Work was done on Linux to make it possible to give a 32-bit process the entire range of addresses, with no sharing between the kernel's page table and ...
