BitBake
BitBake is a task execution engine build automation tool that allows shell and Python tasks to run in parallel yet in order constrained by configured dependencies. Engine It was originally developed for and is commonly used to build embedded Linux distributions often using a cross compiler to target a system that differs architecturally from the build host. BitBake provides capabilities similar to make but via significantly different configuration information. A BitBake recipe specifies how to build a package with information such as where to pull source code from (source URL), dependency constraints, and compile and install options. A source URL commonly specifies a git repo, but other protocols are supported including:,, ftp, cvs, svn, and local file system. A recipe also stores metadata for a package in standard variables. During a build operation, recipes determine build order (constrained by dependencies) and processing tasks to be performed to produce the requ ...

Embedded Linux
The Linux, Linux Operating system is prevalent in embedded systems. As of 2024, developer surveys and industry reports find that Embedded Linux is used in 44%-46% of embedded systems. Due to its Linux range of use, versatility, its large community of developers, as well as its adaptability to devices with size and power constraints, Linux is a popular choice for devices used in Edge Computing and autonomous systems. History : additional source for this section Early Days Prior to becoming the de-facto standard for microprocessor-based devices, a linux distribution was created for the Linux Router Project, with the intent of transforming PCs to routers. Introduction of uClinux Starting in the late 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, the introduction of uCLinux enabled ports to a large variety of microprocessors. Linux is also used as an alternative to using a Proprietary software, proprietary operating system and its associated toolchain. Introduction of ...

Versatile Real-Time Executive
Versatile Real-Time Executive (VRTX) is a real-time operating system (RTOS) developed and marketed by the company Mentor Graphics. VRTX is suitable for both traditional board-based embedded systems and system on a chip (SoC) architectures. It has been superseded by the Nucleus RTOS. History The VRTX operating system began as a product of Hunter & Ready, a company founded by James Ready and Colin Hunter in 1980 which later became Ready Systems. This firm later merged with Microtec Research in 1993, and went public in 1994. This firm was then acquired by Mentor Graphics in 1995 and VRTX became a Mentor product. The VRTX operating system was released in September 1981. Since the 1980s, the chief rival to VRTX has been VxWorks, a Wind River Systems product. VxWorks had its start in the mid 1980s as compiler and assembly language tools to supplement VRTX, named VRTX works, or VxWorks. Later, Wind River created their own real-time kernel offering similar to VRTX. VRTX VRTX comes i ...

Stanford University
Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly referred to as Stanford University, is a Private university, private research university in Stanford, California, United States. It was founded in 1885 by railroad magnate Leland Stanford (the eighth List of governors of California, governor of and then-incumbent List of United States senators from California, United States senator representing California) and his wife, Jane Stanford, Jane, in memory of their only child, Leland Stanford Jr., Leland Jr. The university admitted its first students in 1891, opening as a Mixed-sex education, coeducational and non-denominational institution. It struggled financially after Leland died in 1893 and again after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Following World War II, university Provost (education), provost Frederick Terman inspired an entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial culture to build a self-sufficient local industry (later Silicon Valley). In 1951, Stanfor ...

Git (software)
Git () is a distributed version control software system, system that tracks versions of computer file, files. It is often used to control source code by Programmer, programmers who are software development, developing software collaboratively. Design goals of Git include speed, data integrity, and support for Distributed computing, distributed, non-linear workflows — thousands of parallel Branching (version control), branches running on different computers. "So I'm writing some scripts to try to track things a whole lot faster." As with most other distributed version control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, Git maintains a local copy of the entire Repository (version control), repository, also known as "repo", with history and version-tracking abilities, independent of Computer network, network access or a central Server (computing), server. A repository is stored on each computer in a standard directory (computing), directory with additional, Hidden f ...

Concurrent Versions System
Concurrent Versions System (CVS, or Concurrent Versioning System) is a version control system originally developed by Dick Grune in July 1986. Design CVS operates as a front end to Revision Control System (RCS), an older version control system that manages individual files but not whole projects. It expands upon RCS by adding support for repository-level change tracking, and a client-server model. Files are tracked using the same history format as in RCS, with a hidden directory containing a corresponding history file for each file in the repository. CVS uses delta compression for efficient storage of different versions of the same file. This works well with large text files with few changes from one version to the next. This is usually the case for source code files. On the other hand, when CVS is told to store a file as binary, it will keep each individual version on the server. This is typically used for non-text files such as executable images where it is difficult ...

HTTP
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application layer protocol in the Internet protocol suite model for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include hyperlinks to other resources that the user can easily access, for example by a Computer mouse, mouse click or by tapping the screen in a web browser. Development of HTTP was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989 and summarized in a simple document describing the behavior of a client and a server using the first HTTP version, named 0.9. That version was subsequently developed, eventually becoming the public 1.0. Development of early HTTP Requests for Comments (RFCs) started a few years later in a coordinated effort by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), with work later moving to the IETF. HTTP/1 was finalized and fully documented (as version 1.0) in 1996 ...

Web Mirror
Mirror sites or mirrors are replicas of other websites. The concept of mirroring applies to network services accessible through any protocol, such as HTTP or FTP. Such sites have different URLs than the original site, but host identical or near-identical content. Mirror sites are often located in a different geographic region than the original, or upstream site. The purpose of mirrors is to reduce network traffic, improve access speed, ensure availability of the original site for technical or political reasons, or provide a real-time backup of the original site. Mirror sites are particularly important in developing countries, where internet access may be slower or less reliable. Mirror sites were heavily used on the early internet, when most users accessed through dialup and the Internet backbone had much lower bandwidth than today, making a geographically-localized mirror network a worthwhile benefit. Download archives such as Info-Mac, Tucows and CPAN maintained worldwide netwo ...
