Sommaren börjar gå mot slutet vilket betyder att det äntligen är dags för foss-gbg att dra igång igen. Höstens första träff går av stapeln den 27/9 klockan 17. Då ska Mirza Krak från Host Mobility prata om hur man får Linux att snurra på ny hårdvara:
Hardware bring-up can be an exiting but painful journey, especially when you have a prototype software running on a prototype hardware. Nevertheless a rewarding journey. In my presentation I will talk about hardware/software ”team” relations. I will also present some of the tools that I use when debugging hardware to be able to pinpoint errors and determinate if they are software or hardware related. And finish of with some real-life examples of obscure problems that can occur when you work with hardware (”war stories from the trenches”).
Och lite om Mirza själv:
I am a software engineer employed by Host Mobility AB with a passion for open-source. Active in the Linux kernel community and also a contributor.
At Host Mobility my responsibility’s are developing and maintaining software for our whole product range. That means everything from writing code for tiny micro-controllers in C and Assembler to Linux kernel hacking and board support package development, managing build-systems (openembbedded-core, buildroot, yocto) and u-boot development. I work closely with our hardware team in new hardware design and bring-up.
