Breakthrough Tech: Linux on a Microcontroller. Imagine the possibilities of running Generative AI on a tiny chip level with a speed of Linux !! The Linux MCU project enables the low cost CH32V003 microcontroller to run Linux. It achieves this by using an 8 megabyte SPI PSRAM chip and a RISC-V emulator. The emulation is needed because the PSRAM cannot be mapped into the address space of the microcontroller. The Linux kernel and rootfs is loaded into PSRAM at boot from an SD card. #linux #genai #artificialintelligence #microcontrollers

🌟 Discover the Core of Linux: Why It's More Than Just an OS! Ever wondered why Linux is called a "kernel" instead of an "operating system"? In my latest Medium story, delve into the essence of Linux's kernel—the powerhouse behind its flexibility, scalability, and global impact in modern computing. Join the conversation and uncover why Linux continues to lead as the heartbeat of open-source innovation. #LinuxKernel #OpenSource #TechInnovation Read more on Medium 👇

Big news! Did you see that Beckhoff just announced TwinCAT Runtime for Linux? You can use it with a Hypervisor to run other software on a guest OS. Also now you can use containerization with Docker and LXC for your software modules and even run multiple TwinCAT PLC instances on a single controller! It also enables Secure Boot for your IT cybersecurity needs. This just adds to the OS options we already had with TwinCAT BSD and the traditional Windows but freedom of choice is always a good thing! #Beckhoff #Linux #TwinCAT #EtherCAT #MaterialHandling #Intralogistics

At Beckhoff it's all about flexibility and choices; we don't box you in to one way of doing things and we ensure protection against system obsolescence with a common control architecture and the use of standard, open protocols, languages, and platforms. Another choice is coming.....with 3 standard operating system options and many combinations thereof, the choice is yours to develop the best automation platform that suits your equipment and your requirements. #linux #intralogistics #Beckhoff #materialhandling

This Friday’s webinar: Anatomy of a Linux Device Driver 📅 March 15 ⏰ Europe & Asia: 10am (GMT) & Americas: 10am (PDT) This webinar will examine the role and structure of a Linux device driver, how it interacts with existing frameworks and subsystems within the Linux kernel.

Our Linux®-based real-time controller allows you to run multiple TwinCAT runtimes on a single industrial PC. This means a variety of different system components can be combined on just one high-performance computer. Consolidating hardware in this way makes better use of computing resources, and access to a GPU – for example, as a hardware accelerator – also facilitates computationally intensive applications.

🔧 How Linux Works: Key Components & Processes 🔧 1️⃣ Power On & Boot Process • The journey begins with BIOS, leading to the Master Boot Record and the Boot Loader, which loads the Kernel into memory. ⚙️ 2️⃣ Kernel Space • The Kernel is the core of Linux, managing system resources and hardware through Device Drivers. 🛠️ 3️⃣ Memory Management • Efficient allocation and management of memory, including the Initial RAM and swapping between RAM and disk. 💾 4️⃣ Process Management • From boot to user interaction, processes are handled by /sbin/init, the first process in Linux, leading to user-space processes. 🖥️ 5️⃣ File System Management • Organizes files and directories, interfacing with the hardware through System Calls and API Calls. 📁 6️⃣ User Space • Interaction with the system via Shell (CLI) or GUI. Here, users run applications and execute commands. 🖱️ 7️⃣ Network, CPU, Memory, & Disk • The kernel oversees everything from network management to CPU scheduling, ensuring smooth operation. 🌐 #Linux #OperatingSystems #TechKnowledge #SystemAdministration #OpenSource #Kernel #SoftwareDevelopment
