Implementation of CMOS Camera Device Driver and Bluetooth Technique on S3C2440 Using Linux

With the processing of CMOS technology, the technology of video acquisition based on CMOS is becoming a new trend. However, many CMOS camera chip is not supported by the newest Linux kernel yet. The environmented image acquirement and the Bluetooth transmission system are studied and designed. In this paper, the method of designing the CMOS camera driver based on S3C2440 developing board with the embedded Linux environment is introduced and add some components such as a USB Bluetooth adapter. SCCB is a distinguishing feature of OV series CMOS chips. S3C2440 provides a camera interface, and the camera driver is designed based on it.

STRATO: Hosting Firm Halves Price of Customer Operating Systems With Virtual Servers

Berlin-based web hosting provider STRATO - the second-largest web hosting firm in Europe - wanted to give customers a service on virtualised Windows-based servers to make its pricing more competitive. Previously, STRATO was only able to provision virtualised Linux servers, but demand for a cost-effective Windows-hosted solution was growing. STRATO chose Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtualisation technology and Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 for manageability. Hyper-V guaranteed STRATO fast time to market - using a different solution would have taken three to six months longer. The company is now offering its 1.5 million customers a virtualised Windows Server OS for half the price of a dedicated server.

Florida Atlantic University: University Runs Linux-Based Blackboard on Hyper-V While Trimming Costs by $600,000

When Florida Atlantic University (FAU) hit its third round of state-level budget cuts, it knew that it had to fundamentally change the way it delivered IT services. Servers were consuming valuable funds and data center space, yet the staff needed to replace older hardware and boost the performance of its critical Blackboard curriculum management application. The only way to accomplish all this was to use virtualization, which FAU implemented by using Hyper-V technology in the Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating system with Service Pack 1. By using Linux Integration Services for Hyper-V, FAU is able to run Blackboard on the Linux operating system and improve performance. It has also been able to reduce costs by U.S.$600,000 and expanded services with no increase in staff.

Open Source Software in the Vertical Market: An Open Niche?

Much of the universe of open-source software is categorized; abundant open-source software is found for most categories. However, relatively few dual-licensed open-source software programs are found, and very little open-source software is found for vertical markets. Explanations are explored. The phrase open source has been in common use since it was suggested in 1998 by Christine Peterson as an alternative name for what many call free software (Open Source Initiative, 2007). This paper is an attempt to categorize each package of a large sample of open source software, so as to discover the domains in which open source development has been occurring, and in which domains, if any, there has been little or no open source development activity.

File Systems in Linux and FreeBSD: A Comparative Study

This paper compares file systems in Ubuntu Linux and FreeBSD and then analyzes the best utilization. The generic file systems, EXTended File System (EXT2) of Linux and Fast File System (FFS) of FreeBSD operating systems, are evaluated using benchmark tests. It is proposed that a better file system could be assembled and implemented for improving performance and reducing bottleneck with consideration of modern intricacies. File systems of FreeBSD and Linux are very similar in general, but there are a few differences. This paper finds certain aspects of both file systems lacking in keeping up with performance for I/O devices.
