Rationale
This session is focussed to a first contact with an embedded operating system. I decided to choose Linux as operating system and the Raspberry Pi board as supporting hardware to benefit from a huge amount of free resources and information. You can have this lab at home for only 40 Eur.
Operating Systems introduction
The world is full of operating systems. You must choose the right one for your project.
Get ready with your Raspberry Pi
Now it’s time for a step-by-step guide to getting your Raspberry Pi up and running.
Raspberry Pi basics
Some basics on how to operate your Raspberry Pi … well, this is really basic stuff for dealing with a Linux box.
Homework
GNU Radio
Take a look at the GNU Radio project. Try to install some applications on your Linux virtual machine. Please write down your impressions and send it to me by e-mail.
Octave
Take a look to the “Octave” project and install it in your virtual machine. Recover some simple Matlab script (preferably for signal processing) and test it.
