The document is a presentation by Vivek Kurmi about the Linux Install Fest-2012 event on October 16th, 2012. It provides an introduction to Linux, discussing that it is free and open source, runs on multiple hardware platforms, and has many flavors due to its open source nature. It covers the history of Linux from UNIX to GNU to Linux's creation in 1991. It also highlights advantages of Linux and examples of organizations that use Linux.
In the presentation I have tried to cover the Evolution of Linux as an Operating System. The most of the content used is freely available on Internet , I have just tried to streamline it and summarize it as cleanly as possible from my point of view. Any improvements, suggestions, comments are most welcom.
An operating system manages computer hardware and software resources, provides common services to programs, and acts as an interface between the computer and user. The document discusses key operating systems Windows and Linux. It describes features of different Windows versions from 95 to 8 and popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian. It provides a comparison of Windows and Linux on aspects such as bundled software, drivers, price, reliability, hardware support, security, open source nature, support and software costs. Linux is typically more secure, open source, and free while Windows has broader hardware and software support.
The document discusses the history and features of the Linux operating system. It notes that Linux was developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, a student at the University of Helsinki. Torvalds released the Linux source code publicly, allowing thousands of developers to contribute to its growth. Linux is an open-source operating system that provides many of the same functions as proprietary systems like Windows and macOS, including user interfaces, task management, and support for various hardware devices.
Linux and Windows are both operating systems but have key differences. Linux was first released in 1991 as an open source OS developed by Linus Torvalds, while Windows was first released in 1985 as a proprietary OS developed by Microsoft. Linux can be freely downloaded and distributed, though some paid versions exist, while Windows is more expensive to obtain. Both OSes can be used by home and business users but run on different hardware, with Linux supporting more devices.
Linux is an open-source operating system developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. It has a modular design with a Linux kernel that manages hardware resources. Some key advantages of Linux include being free, more efficient than Windows, and having high security. However, disadvantages include difficulty adapting to its command line interface for new users, lack of compatibility with some popular software and games, and less technical support compared to proprietary operating systems. The document provides an overview of Linux, including its history, architecture, advantages, disadvantages, and features.
This document provides information about various Linux distributions including their release dates, founders, code names and other key details. It discusses popular distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian and others, noting their histories and design philosophies. Release schedules and version codenames are outlined for several distributions, showing how they follow naming conventions related to alphabetical order, animals or characters from the Toy Story movies.
Microsoft Corporation is a leading software and technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington. It develops and sells the widely used Windows operating system, which has evolved over several versions from Windows 1.0 in 1985 to the current Windows 10. Microsoft also produces other popular software like Office and was founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen.
This document provides an introduction to Linux, including its history and architecture. It describes Linux's origins from Unix in the 1960s and the development of the Linux kernel by Linus Torvalds in 1991. It outlines the key components of a Linux system, including the kernel, shell, file system, processes, networking, and desktop environments. It also discusses booting a Linux system and provides resources for learning more about Linux distributions and building your own operating system.

It discusses common embedded Linux distributions and components like bootloaders, kernels, and file systems. It also outlines the process for building an embedded Linux system, developing applications for it using common free tools, and emulating or testing on real hardware.
This document provides an overview of embedded operating systems (OSes). It discusses non-real-time OSes like Palm OS and embedded Linux distributions. It also summarizes over 20 commercial and open-source real-time operating systems (RTOSs) such as VxWorks, RTX, Nucleus, FreeRTOS, and eCos. These RTOSs support a variety of processor architectures and have different features around real-time performance, memory footprint, middleware, and pricing models. The document serves as a resource for choosing an appropriate OS for an embedded system.
Linux is a widely used open source operating system kernel that can also refer to full operating system distributions. It is commonly used in embedded systems due to its portability, modularity, and ability to run on hardware with limited resources. Device drivers can be dynamically loaded and unloaded from the Linux kernel as modules, allowing new functionality to be added without rebooting the system. This makes Linux well-suited for embedded device development.
際際滷s of a course that is given to teach embedded linux to engineers. The full course is 2-days; this is the first time a 'light' version was given lasting a single day.
Focus is on
. What is Linux
. How do I compile
. How do I flash
Embedded Linux is the use of the Linux kernel and operating system components adapted for embedded systems with limited resources. Building an embedded Linux system involves compiling the cross-compiler toolchain, bootloader, Linux kernel, root filesystem, busybox commands, and startup scripts. This can be done from scratch or using automated build tools like Buildroot or Yocto Project, which simplify and standardize the process of building a custom embedded Linux image.
An unique module combining various previous modules you have learnt by combing Linux administration, Hardware knowledge, Linux as OS, C/Computer programming areas. This is a complete module on Embedded OS, as of now no books are written on this with such practical aspects. Here is a consolidated material to get real hands-on perspective about building custom Embedded Linux distribution in ARM.
