Embedded Bits

Embedded-bits.co.uk embraces Twitter

Embedded-bits.co.uk has joined Twitter! I thought it would be a great way to get to know my readers and to share with you the blog posts I write.

When it comes to developing for embedded devices – it can be quite difficult to find good documentation or informative articles on the things we really need to know. I’m hoping that we can use Twitter to share links to the useful nuggets of information that we come across during our travels across the internet.

I will look forward to seeing you on Twitter! [© 2011 embedded-bits.co.uk]

Last year at the ELCE 2010 conference in Cambridge I performed a talk about reducing boot times of embedded Linux devices. The video of this talk has now been posted on-line:

Dotted across the Internet is a wealth of free resources including papers, presentations, articles and blogs on various topics to do with Linux and programming. I thought I would share these as I come across them.

One particularly useful resource is that of Free Electrons, an organisation based in France committed to promoting and contributing to free software. They also provide Linux training and have made all their training material available on-line under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareALike 3.0 License. The material absolutely everything you’d ever need to know to become an expert in embedded Linux development. They can be downloaded here:

They also have posted recording of presentations made at various conferences such as the Embedded Linux Conference and Fosdem.

And whilst we’re talking about ELC – you can find the archives and presentation materials here:

All worthwhile reading on a rainy day . [© 2011 embedded-bits.co.uk]
