There are several common causes for failure of memory modules. Before solving the problems in software, let's turn to these causes. To understand them, please take a look at Figure 1, which shows ...

Linux is in everything these days, and that means designers and engineers are crying out for a simple, easy-to-use module that simplifies the design of building a product to do something with Linux.

Kernel modules are chunks of code that are loaded and unloaded into the kernel as needed, thus extending the functionality of the kernel without requiring a reboot. In fact, unless users inquire about ...

I did something recently I haven’t done in a long time: I recompiled the Linux kernel. There was a time when this was a common occurrence. You might want a feature that the default kernel didn’t ...

Kernel 6.18 brings enhanced hardware support: updated and new drivers for many platforms across architectures (x86_64, ARM, RISC-V, MIPS, etc.), including improvements for GPUs, CPU power management, ...

Blacklisting modules prevents them from being loaded and used, and it is sometimes an important step in keeping a system running properly. The Linux kernel is modular — composed of modules that work ...

Editor's Note: Linux remains an attractive option for embedded systems developers. In fact, industry surveys such as the Embedded Market Study by UBM (EDN's parent company) consistently show interest ...

The Palomar line of PMC modules has been expanded with a board that's equipped with a Linux symmetric-multiprocessing software support package. The 1000 DFX uses the Linux SMP software to balance the ...

Samsung said on Tuesday that it has developed a low-power compression attached memory module (LPCAMM), which it called the industry's first, that will come to Intel platforms in 2024. The new form ...
