Introduction to uClinux

This presentation is the result of a 6 hours teaching to 4th year university students in applied electronics and to various research laboratories in Besancon (France). It aims at filling the lack of introductory material for people willing to getting started with uclinux, while focusing an a real application requiring a complete development to be functional (use of the TCP/IP stack, threads, jpeg compression as well as hardware access to most peripherals of the motorola coldfire).

The picture of the authors was taken by an OVL6620 camera connected to a Coldfire 5282 processor running uClinux, as will be demonstrated during the presentation.


Description

I will present both from hardware and software perspectives the use of uclinux for developping embedded applications. I will present the tools needed for cross-compiling a kernel and applications, the similarities anddifferences between linux and uclinux, and the means of programming embedded processors (Motorola Coldfire basedelectronic circuits) for robotic applications.

From a hardware point of view I will brifly develop the capabilities of commercial electronic circuits and the additional hardware needed for interfacing various sensors. Our specific applications will focus on the use uclinux for airborne imagery and real time stereoscopic image transmission from a captive balloon.
