Linux – What is Linux?
Linux is the core component of the operating system. In order for Linux to qualify as OS, it needs other GNU tools and components along with the Linux Kernel. It is the work of community of programmers who have willingly contributed their time and effort to make the software free and open-source.
Why I chose Beaglebone black for Sensor and Controller Board (Master Board): Sense and Act
How to choose the hardware platform for sensor and controller board.
1. Should be Open Source board and has good community support
2. Should be able to run Embedded Linux
3. Should have support for more connections
Introduction: Sense and Act
Why this project? The purpose of this new project is to explore and learn embedded Linux, embedded system and IoT in general. With this project will we can build an IoT reference platform for future projects. I would like to document and share my experience of building this platform so that it helps others whoContinue reading “Introduction: Sense and Act”
ELP Learning: Session – 1 – Introduction
What is Linux and some of the important concepts in Linux for beginners like how to use Linux Shell
Linux – Running Commands as the Superuser
su you can run the su command and enter the root password to start a root shell. This practice works, but it has certain disadvantages: You have no record of system-altering commands. You have no record of the users who performed system-altering commands. You don’t have access to your normal shell environment. You have toContinue reading “Linux – Running Commands as the Superuser”
Linux – Directory Hierarchy Essentials
The details of the Linux directory structure are outlined in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, or FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/) Figure below offers a simplified overview of the hierarchy, showing some of the directories under /, /usr, and /var. Notice that the directory structure under /usr contains some of the same directory names as /. Here are theContinue reading “Linux – Directory Hierarchy Essentials”
Linux – Archiving and Compressing Files
Now you need to master gzip and tar. gzip The program gzip (GNU Zip) is one of the current standard Unix compression programs. A file that ends with .gz is a GNU Zip archive. Use gunzip file.gz to uncompress <file>.gz and remove the suffix; to compress it again, use gzip file. tar To create anContinue reading “Linux – Archiving and Compressing Files”
Linux – File Modes and Permissions
Every Unix file has a set of permissions that determine whether you can read, write, or run the file. Running ls -l displays the permissions. Here’s an example of such a display: -rw-r–r–➊ 1 juser somegroup 7041 Mar 26 19:34 endnotes.html The file’s mode ➊ represents the file’s permissions and some extra information. There areContinue reading “Linux – File Modes and Permissions”
