Standardizing Embedded Linux Development

Embedded Linux has a slightly different development cycle and tool set. A credit-card-sized computer does not have the same resources as a server or desktop machine, and they don’t have a basic input/output system (BIOS).

The Embedded Linux Boot Process:
A boot loader, u-boot, loads the hardware abstraction layer (HAL), which is called a device tree.
Then the boot loader validates the hardware, locks the driver area and passes control to the Linux Kernel.
The Linux Kernel initializes the hardware and completes the boot process to a fully running Linux system.

U-boot is not maintained by the Linux kernel team – it is designed for embedded systems. While the device tree is nothing like a BIOS, combined with u-boot, it replaces the BIOS in embedded Linux systems.

The device tree is a high-level editor and compiler that creates the binary image that replaces the BIOS. These are steps that exist in building an embedded Linux system that are not necessary or even understood by server and desktop Linux developers.

Agencies can build on the progress made with integrated eligibility. Once agencies have a single application to manage multiple health and human service programs, they can improve citizen engagement, and extract insights from the application data collected. Agencies can transform the citizen’s experience by providing personalized, responsive portals to connect them to services and to foster trust and engagement between citizens and agencies. Data insights help caseworkers deliver improved outcomes by giving them a holistic view of clients and the influences on their lives so they can best support them on every step of their journey.”
