For years I have been telling myself that it’s a bit too much for a single person to try and manage a distro, but now I think it’s time to give it a go.
Continue reading...Adding SPI & AXI to NEORV32 Design
In the previous part we created an FPGA design that runs NEORV32 and is capable of booting Zephyr. Let’s improve it by adding an SPI block and external memory.
Continue reading...Running Zephyr RTOS on NEORV32 Soft Processor
The last time I was playing with an FPGA I connected Basys 3 and Raspberry Pi. It’s time to increase the difficulty a bit and create our SoC using FPGA.
Continue reading...Configuration with PACKAGECONFIG in Yocto
The OpenEmbedded build system used by the Yocto Project has a powerful feature that is slightly hidden in the documentation: package configuration.
Continue reading...Linux & FPGA, The Perfect Match?
FPGA, one of life’s big mysteries. Let’s combine Raspberry Pi 5 and Basys 3 boards and see how we can demonstrate communication between these two devices.
Continue reading...Encrypting In Yocto With fscryptctl
In this blog text I’ll briefly cover how to use fscryptctl to encrypt and decrypt directories in an embedded Linux system.
Continue reading...Yocto Hardening: File System Encryption with fscrypt
Let’s continue encryption with the second part and move on to file system encryption.
Continue reading...Yocto Hardening: Block Device Encryption with dm-crypt
Data safety is crucial in the embedded systems. The devices can store information that should be kept secret. Encryption can be used to achieve exactly that.
Continue reading...Linux Initramfs, With and Without Yocto
Let’s get started with an introduction of what an initramfs is, and then get into more technical stuff.
Continue reading...The First Steps With Buildroot
This text contains instructions on how to get started with Buildroot and some first impressions from a long-time Yocto developer.
