“Surfing on an Interactive Kiosk” at Yocto Project Summit

/in /by

The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded are often used for building custom GNU/Linux distributions for powering interactive kiosk and displaying HTML5 content. Surf is a simple minimalist web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+ with interface that does not include any graphical control elements.

In his presentation, Surfing on a Interactive Kiosk, Konsulko Group’s Leon Anavi will describe the exact steps to build a minimal GNU/Linux distribution with systemd, X11, openbox window manager and the Surf web browser.

Yocto Project Virtual Summit, May 25-26, 2021, is both a workshop for engineers building customized Linux distributions and applications, and an open forum where maintainers, trainers and users present papers on how the project is evolving. The highly interactive classes will be presented in Zoom, with chat sessions, side rooms, teaching assistants, and hands-on exercises with live class accounts.

We hope you will participate with us in the Summit.

Webinar – Getting Started with AGL using Raspberry Pi

/in /by

Coming December 1, a new AGL Member Webinar by Konsulko Group’s Leon Anavi

In 2016 Automotive Grade Linux was ported to Raspberry Pi and since then this low-cost single board computer has become a preferred getting started platform among the community. Although Raspberry Pi doesn’t match the hardware capabilities of high-end industrial and automotive hardware platforms, its wide availability and low-cost makes it a great choice for rapid prototyping and exploring AGL. 

This presentation will provide guidelines and exact steps for building AGL image for Raspberry Pi. We will explore the past and present of AGL on Raspberry Pi, including practical experience for supporting Wayland, PipeWire, libostree for software over the air updates and various hardware peripherals. 

The talk is appropriate for beginners. No previous experience with AGL is required. Hopefully, the presentation will encourage more people to join and contribute to our open source community! Register here.

ELC goes virtual

/in /by

Registration is now open for Embedded Linux Conference (ELC), the premier vendor-neutral technical conference of developers working on embedded Linux. Held virtually this year on June 29 – July 2, 2020, ELC will feature four full days of education, collaboration, and deep dive learning opportunities presented from locations across the globe.

Konsulko Group engineers are scheduled to give two sessions. CTO Matt Porter will teach his popular tutorial, Introduction to IIO and Input Drivers, and Principal Software Engineer Paul Barker will be giving a talk as part of the Project Mini-Summits.

Although we won’t be able to literally “see” you there, we hope you will join us in supporting the virtual edition of this important Linux Foundation event.

Konsulko Group is going to Embedded World

/in /by

When Embedded World began in 2003, Linux and open source were still a very small part of the embedded software business. Year after year, Embedded Linux has grown steadily. This year at Embedded World 2020 over 120 companies will be highlighting over 130 Embedded Linux products and services, including the Linux Foundation and Automotive Grade Linux (Hall 4 / 4-171).

If you are coming to Nuremberg, February 25-27, we hope will see you around the AGL stand, on the show floor, or at one of the many social events. Please contact us directly if you’d like to set up a meeting.
