Automated Build for Embedded Linux

Automated Build for Embedded Linux

1. Development Experience The BSP engineers from device manufacturers mainly focus on root filesystem/driver porting/system integration/hardware debugging. It is important to note the distinction from the driver engineers at chip manufacturers. After graduation, the opportunities to write drivers from scratch are few and far between; most of the time, drivers are provided by the chip … Read more

Design Concepts of Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL & BSP) in Embedded Systems (Part 1)

Design Concepts of Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL & BSP) in Embedded Systems (Part 1)

1 Introduction The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) is an interface layer located between the operating system kernel and the hardware circuitry, aimed at abstracting the hardware. It hides the hardware interface details specific to a platform, providing a virtual hardware platform for the operating system, making it hardware-independent and portable across various platforms. The HAL … Read more
