OpenSSL FIPS Object Module FIPS 140-2 validation now includes ARM Processors
News console server writes "Opengear in partnership with OSSI and the OpenSSL project has delivered an extension of the existing OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.2 validation (certificate #1051) that enables that open source cryptographic module to meet the FIPS 140-2 standards for ARM processors.

The OpenSSL certification has previously only covered x86 based systems. The extension delivered as part of OpenGears involvement now allows for ARM based systems to fall under the certification. It also paves the way for other embedded/cross compiled systems to easily follow.

OpenGears IM/CM/SD4000 and CMx86 solutions are all built upon the open source uClinux and okvm console management software."

Size Reqirements for uCLinux
Question cplusruss writes "We are doing some very preliminary die size estimates for a custom IC we're looking to design and build. The IC will use an ARM7 core, and we'd like to run an embedded version of uClinux. The main reason for using uClinux is to support TCP/IP and ZigBee protocols. Have you any idea of how much code space (ROM and/or Flash) and RAM we will need for this basic configuration (excluding the rest of our application software) ? Thanks Russell"

New uClinux port in works to new Free core
Interesting Links AnthonyGreen writes "I'm in the process of designing a free software core called moxie along with the requisite tools and firmware suitable for implementing in FPGA technology. The tools ports are already in the upstream GNU repositories, qemu is ported, and uClinux is just starting to boot. Click here to read the development blog. There's also a wiki here. I am new to uClinux, so advice and help is certainly welcome!"

I'm using a board with CPU S3C2510, whose core is arm940t. The cross compliler is arm-elf-gcc 2.95.3. I choose the uclibc in the menuconfig. My uclinux is 2.4, which is provided by samsung and is called linux2510. Does anyone know this question? xinyz 2009.6.16"

Freescale 5329 And uClinux (with LTIB)
FAQ The purpose of this document is the implementation, under Ubuntu, of the System-On-Module MCF5329 Fire Engine (from Freescale/Logicpd). On this system (available from Farnell), we are going to install uClinux via the image generator provided by Freescale : LTIB.

Open Source smart camera uses uCLinux
Development Boards Stephan Moser writes "The leanxcam is an Analog Devices DSP smart camera (ADSB-BF537) aimed at industrial computer vision applications and hobby/student projects. The entire camera - hardware as well as software - is open source. It features a 752x480 pixel CMOS sensor, 64MB of SDRAM and 4MB of flash, Ethernet and div. IOs. The camera runs a uClinux and comes with an image processing framework. Further details are available under http://www.scs-vision.ch/en/leanxcam/index.html or www.leanxcam.ch. The camera won the 2008 Vision Award."

uClinux usage Survey
Interesting Links rgetz writes "Analog Devices has set up a survey in an attempt to determine how people use their (or other) processors. If you have 5-8 minutes, please fill it out, telling them how your experience with processors running uClinux (and other open source applications) has been (good or bad).

http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey.zgi?p=WEB22 96CKJ5YNP

Thanks for taking the time to complete the survey.

Results will be shared when (a) we get enough people responding or (b) a few weeks goes by."

vfork with child and parent commication?
Question Frank writes "Hi , I tried to replace fork with vfork inside a program. I found the program is hung in child process . the "read()" inside (send_receive function call)child process is blocking the program.

I am kind of new to uClinux or linux. please correct me if I stated something wrong.

I guess the reason:

  1. vfork is always to start a child process
  2. we can't execute parent process until child process has done.
  3. read() inside the child process is blocking call and waiting for parent but parent is waiting child to exit. there is a deadlock???

my question is : How to resolve this problem? regards Frank"
