Agile methods are still considered as the miracle formula to adapt projects to customer needs and be able to deliver the product of their dreams. But when you start investigating and getting a closer look it is all not so obvious. My first objective was to identify and understand all existing methods.

Linux manages its physical memory in clever and often efficient ways – as a result, it’s not uncommon to only think about how the memory in your system is being used when we run into performance issues. And this is where the frustration can begin – without fully understanding how memory is managed, it can be very difficult to answer some seemingly straight-forward questions like ‘How much free memory do I have?‘ or ‘How much memory is this process taking?‘. There are a lot of complications and as a result, performance monitoring can be a challenge. Read my article to learn more

GNU’s GCC has a useful (and perhaps not very well known) feature known as ‘weak symbols’. I first discovered this a while back when building a Linux kernel – however unbeknown to me the Linux kernel makes great use of weak symbols yet the compiler I used did not correctly support them. Rather than a failed build, the kernel built fine and even run – I was instead presented with a number of interesting bugs

Discover through my article what is for me the most suitable technology for graphical user inteface development - Qt or Altia.

Let's talk about heterogeneous multi-core processing architecture. Discover what stand behind this kind of architecture and how to use it for your own project. I will use the NXP i.MX 7 platform as an example of heterogeneous multi-core processing architecture.

This tutorial will help you to learn how to easily deal with non-latin characters and "right to left" languages for your Qt application.

This article explores the ‘I/O wait’ statistic and demonstrates how a system with 0% idle time doesn’t mean you’re demanding too much CPU.

I have been playing with the BeagleBoard-xM for a while now. If you have worked on it, you must have noticed the MLO file, which is required to be present in the boot partition of the Micro SD card. This MLO file is mandatory for booting the whole system. Ever wanted to know more about this file? Then read my article.

Discover what happened during Android Makers 2017, the first Paris event related to Android and its future. Find in my article all the new trends related to Android I gathered during this event.

This article examines ‘delay_use’ and identifies how it may be used to reduce boot time and improve responsiveness of your embedded device.

Creating a new product today often requires the choice of an embedded operating system - so why choose Linux?

Software is everywhere. You probably have heard about it. Many organizations are disturbed in their original business by the arrival of software. Changes in culture, tools and processes are needed.
