U-Boot presentation 2013
U-Boot presentation 2013Wave Digitech U-Boot is an open source boot loader that initializes hardware and loads operating systems. It supports many CPUs and boards. The boot process involves a pre-relocation phase where U-Boot initializes hardware and copies itself to RAM, and a post-relocation phase where it finishes hardware initialization and loads the kernel or operating system. Debugging can be done before and after relocation by setting breakpoints and examining memory.
Uboot startup sequence
Uboot startup sequenceHoucheng Lin U-boot provides a multistage boot process that initializes the CPU and board resources incrementally at each stage. It begins execution on the CPU in a limited environment and hands off to subsequent stages that gain access to more resources like memory and devices. U-boot supports booting an operating system image from storage like SSD or over the network and offers features like secure boot and hypervisor support.

Bootloaders (U-Boot) 
Bootloaders (U-Boot) Omkar Rane This document discusses bootloaders for embedded systems. It defines a bootloader as the first code executed after a system powers on or resets that is responsible for loading the operating system kernel. The document then describes the tasks of a bootloader like initializing hardware, loading binaries from storage, and providing a shell. It outlines the booting process differences between desktops and embedded systems. Finally, it focuses on the universal bootloader U-Boot, describing its directory structure, configuration, building process, and commands.
Arm device tree and linux device drivers
Arm device tree and linux device driversHoucheng Lin This document discusses how the Linux kernel supports different ARM boards using a common source code base. It describes how device tree is used to describe hardware in a board-agnostic way. The kernel initializes machine-specific code via the device tree and initializes drivers by matching compatible strings. This allows a single kernel binary to support multiple boards by abstracting low-level hardware details into the device tree rather than the kernel source. The document also contrasts the ARM approach to the x86 approach, where BIOS abstraction and standardized buses allow one kernel to support most x86 hardware.

Embedded_Linux_Booting
Embedded_Linux_BootingRashila Rr The embedded Linux boot process involves multiple stages beginning with ROM code that initializes hardware and loads the first stage bootloader, X-Loader. The X-Loader further initializes hardware and loads the second stage bootloader, U-Boot, which performs additional initialization and loads the Linux kernel. The kernel then initializes drivers and mounts the root filesystem to launch userspace processes. Booting can occur from flash memory, an eMMC/SD card, over a network using TFTP/NFS, or locally via UART/USB depending on the boot configuration and available devices.

Nowadays, all developers porting the Linux kernel on new ARM platforms, either new SOCs or new boards, have to work with the Device Tree. Based on practical examples, this talk intends to provide a ""getting started guide"" for newcomers in the Device Tree world: what is the Device Tree? How is it written and compiled? How do the bootloader and kernel interact? How are Device Tree bindings written and documented? What are the best practices for writing Device Trees and their bindings?

It also discusses the roles of the bootstrap loader and how it loads and decompresses the kernel image.
Board Bringup
Board BringupAnil Kumar Pugalia The document discusses board bringup and the startup process. It explains that on power on, the processor executes initial startup code which loads a stage 1 bootloader. The stage 1 bootloader then loads a stage 2 bootloader which loads the operating system.

Linux for embedded_systems
Linux for embedded_systemsVandana Salve 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.

Linux booting process - Linux System Administration
Linux booting process - Linux System AdministrationSreenatha Reddy K R The document discusses the Linux booting process. It begins with the BIOS loading the master boot record (MBR) from the hard disk. The MBR then loads the boot loader like GRUB or LILO. The boot loader loads the Linux kernel into memory and passes control to it. The kernel initializes hardware and loads drivers. It then launches the init process which starts essential system processes and moves the system to the default runlevel based on the /etc/inittab file.

Android for Embedded Linux Developers
Android for Embedded Linux DevelopersOpersys inc. The default applications on an embedded Linux system include many common command line utilities from BusyBox, such as cat, cp, grep, ls, mkdir, more, mv, ping, ps, rm, top, and vi. BusyBox provides minimal versions of many common UNIX commands in a single executable to reduce the size of the system. Other default applications may include services like bootchartd, crond, and syslogd.
Rhce ppt
Rhce pptMohammed Ben Linus Torvalds created Linux in 1991 as a hobby. It was inspired by MINIX and initially resembled it, using the same file system layout. Torvalds ported tools like Bash and GCC to Linux. In 1992, he posted to a newsgroup asking for feedback to improve his new operating system. This helped launch Linux development. Linux later combined with the GNU operating system and tools to become a full fledged open source alternative to proprietary operating systems.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptx
DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

HCL Nomad Web wird als die nächste Generation des HCL Notes-Clients gefeiert und bietet zahlreiche Vorteile, wie die Beseitigung des Bedarfs an Paketierung, Verteilung und Installation. Nomad Web-Client-Updates werden “automatisch” im Hintergrund installiert, was den administrativen Aufwand im Vergleich zu traditionellen HCL Notes-Clients erheblich reduziert. Allerdings stellt die Fehlerbehebung in Nomad Web im Vergleich zum Notes-Client einzigartige Herausforderungen dar.
Begleiten Sie Christoph und Marc, während sie demonstrieren, wie der Fehlerbehebungsprozess in HCL Nomad Web vereinfacht werden kann, um eine reibungslose und effiziente Benutzererfahrung zu gewährleisten.
In diesem Webinar werden wir effektive Strategien zur Diagnose und Lösung häufiger Probleme in HCL Nomad Web untersuchen, einschließlich
- Zugriff auf die Konsole
- Auffinden und Interpretieren von Protokolldateien
- Zugriff auf den Datenordner im Cache des Browsers (unter Verwendung von OPFS)
- Verständnis der Unterschiede zwischen Einzel- und Mehrbenutzerszenarien
- Nutzung der Client Clocking-Funktion
