Embedded Linux development explained online
A series of free interactive educational webinars will address common embedded Linux development issues
TimeSys offers its services through LinuxLink subscriptions, which include a number of cross-development tools that simplify embedded development. Each session will explore cross-compilation and build challenges, highlight TimeSys tools for addressing these challenges, and enable live interaction with technical experts from TimeSys.
'Using automake and autoconf' will run on Thursday 11th May 2006 at 1800 BST.
Most open source packages use automake and autoconf utilities to simplify building binaries on a wide-range of target systems.
When configuration files are created with cross-compilation as a goal, automake and autoconf make the process of cross-compiling your software for Embedded Linux targets nearly effortless.

Web seminars tackle embedded Linux topics
New webinars cover best practices for embedded Linux development through an examination of project risk and the benefits of a common toolset
However, cross-compilation continues to be a painful task for most open source packages.
This webinar looks at automake and autoconf from an embedded engineer's perspective and presents ways to make your software more cross-compile 'friendly'.
It will also discuss techniques and work arounds for projects that haven't been built with this usage pattern in mind.
'Using RPM as your build environment' will run on Tuesday 16th May 2006 at 1800 BST.
The RPM package management software not only helps you install packages on a system, but also provides an easy way to manage the patch and build process.
This webinar steps you through the process of creating a project that can be cross-compiled with RPM's build utility, RPMbuild.
In addition, the webinar shows how LinuxLink tsRPM tool greatly simplifies this process for embedded developers by handling the complexities of using RPMs in a cross-compilation environment.
'Inside GCC for embedded developers' will be held on Tuesday 23rd May 2006 at 1800GMT.
Linux development wouldn't happen without GCC, the Gnu Compiler Collection.
Using a GCC-based cross-compiler, there are some tricks of the trade that every embedded developer should know in order to properly configure GCC for their project and to be able to correctly diagnose problems when they occur.
This webinar looks at how users can tweak a GCC cross-compiler configuration to ease compilation and deployment, and also explores what options GCC includes that can help diagnose problems when they occur.
