Today, let’s talk about the LCD Framebuffer in Linux, which is a powerful tool in embedded systems. Despite its fancy name, it’s actually very simple to use; it’s just a large array in memory that stores the color information of each pixel on the screen. What is a Framebuffer? In simple terms, a Framebuffer is … Read more
(1) Process Concept A process is a program that has been executed. It does not occupy disk space but consumes system memory, CPU resources, and each running process corresponds to its own virtual address space. (2) Concepts of Parallelism and Concurrency The CPU allocates a time slice to each process, and a process can run … Read more
