    First Time Embedded Linux Development

    I am a 4th year computer engineering student and I have been heavily involved with a campus project for the past year and a half building CubeSats (cubesat.org if you are curious, but they are basically 10cm cube satellites that generally have a 1W power footprint). We have been using PIC18's...

    Choosing a Microcontroller for Embedded Linux?

    For a long-term (6 months++ development, 1yr++ testing) graduate-level project, I am trying to choose a microcontroller to replace a PIC18-based system so that we can run linux. My requirements are really only that it can run Linux 2.6+ (not a uCLinux or any linux derivative, want broadest...

    What is a good distro for my laptop?

    I have been working on Fedora based computers at school for a few quarters and doing a decent amount of system (Unix) C programing (and taking an OS course next quarter), but I'd like to have a copy of Linux on one of my own computers. I currently have a desktop with WinXP that I don't really...

    House with potentially 6 active computers at once

    I am moving into a house this september with 5 other engineering students, and chances are we are going to be bandwidth whores. I am definitely going to look into purchasing the best possible internet plan (unfortunately Charter is our only cable provider), but once it reaches our house: what is...

    System Programming (C)

    I am about to take a System Programming class and I have no idea what to expect. I have been trying use google, to not much avail, so I'd like to hear from some of the members of this board that likely have some first-hand experience: what is system programming? I haven't taken any...

    Router Issue - Only one computer connects

    I am in desperate need of some assistance here. I have tried so many different things that I just don't know what to do anymore. I have a network consisting of a Linksys WRT54GL wireless-wired router that is connected to three PCs and as of right now, the two XP machines get no internet and the...

    Best "small form-factor" flash Mp3 player?

    My girlfriend has recently been complaining a lot about her 512MB "old" (the bigger one) shuffle and she has about 8GB of music, but usually is very picky with her playlists so that size probably isn't necessary but if it's cheap enough I'd consider it, basically saying under $150. I know she...

    New Graphics Card, X800 GTO, problems

    I just built my computer recently, with a Conroe 6700, 2gb of Corsair RAM in Dual Channel, a 600W OCZ PSU, and a Powercolor X800 GTO 256mb. Whenever I run games (particularly World of Warcraft) the GPU accelerator seems to stop and either the VPU recovery tries to reset it, or my computer just...
