The intention with these articles has been to introduce you to NEMS Linux in such a way as to arm you with useful knowledge that gets you up and running immediately. These aren’t intended to appear as documentation, but rather a technical article that gives you ideas as to how NEMS Linux can be used in your environment. ▶
The Yocto Project (YP) is an open source collaborative project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems regardless of the hardware architecture. Yocto is not an embedded Linux distribution, but it instead creates a custom one for you. ▶
In the previous installment of this series, I was able to play a very good mixture of different genres. I found some shooting games I liked, one of my all time favorite adventure games, and even the one sports game I liked on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) ported with ▶
The ODROID-XU4 is basically a heterogeneous multi-processing Octa-core Linux Computer. Offering open source support, the board can run various flavors of Linux, including the latest Ubuntu 18.04 ▶
Let's start the 5.4 kernel development party. ▶
Hardkernel’s ODROID platform has a unique advantage over other similar Single Board Computers (SBCs) that they allow the eMMC module to be removed and reflashes using an external USB adapter. All of Hardkernel’s eMMC modules ship with an SD card adapter that allow the user to flash an operating system or inspect the contents of the solid state drive on another computer using utilities such as Etcher or dd. However, the SD card adapter required that another adapter be used in order to access the drive via USB, and many SD to USB adapters were not compatible with Hardkernel’s adapter. ▶
In the 1980s and 1990s, Nintendo and Sega fought to dominate the console market. While both had similar products, there were still some major differences. If you compare their earlier products, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Sega Master System (SMS), and Game Boy/Game Boy Color (GB/GBC) and Game Gear (GG), it always seemed like Sega was in the lead when it came to technology. ▶
Our adventure into scripting continues with more tests, if statements, input and functions; we also do calculations from within BASH. First, let's look into filename manipulation, since this seems to be one of the most popular things needed in beginner scripts. As a bonus for making it through a lot of theory, we have another example of BASH programming in the form of a game. ▶
After all the theoretical stuff in the last few parts of this series, we’re going to take a breather and deal with clever ways to increase productivity in BASH when working with ODROID. The default Ubuntu MATE system is chock-full of useful utilities without requiring so much as installing additional programs. Now, let us take this unused potential for a spin. ▶
Here is brief summary of the kernels and crypto algorithms that were modified for the Odroid and the test results. ▶
