Developing Embedded Linux Devices Using the Yocto Project and What's new in 1.1
The Yocto Project is a joint project to unify the world's efforts around embedded Linux and to make Linux the best choice for embedded designs. The Yocto Project is an open source starting point for embedded Linux development which contains tools, templates, methods and actual working code to get started with an embedded device project. In addition, the Yocto Project includes Eclipse plug-ins to assist the developer. This talk gives a walk-through of the key parts of the Yocto Project for developing embedded Linux projects. In addition, features will be described from the latest release of Yocto. At the end of the talk, developers should be able to start their own embedded project using the Yocto Project and use it for developing the next great embedded device.

This presentation will cover a brief introduction on how the Bluetooth LowEnergy technology works. Then it will present the current status of its support on Linux, presenting the available APIs and how to interact with BluetoothSmart devices. Then we'll present the profiles we're currently working on and what support can be expected to be found on Linux and BlueZ this year. There will be also a few demos of Bluetooth Smart devices working on Linux. The audience of this talk is application or framework developers that want toadd support for Bluetooth Smart devices to their software, hardware vendors,and technology curious. Basic Bluetooth understanding is recommended but not required.

Experiments in video:
1. bulit-in SINE wave to channel1 -- frequency measurement
2. AC main pickup on channel2
3. Signal from ch1 to ch2 though my hand
4. Adjust pressure on leads to mix the two signals -- do FFT of the composite
5 . 1uF from CH1 to CH2 , 1k from CH2 to gnd shows phase shift
6. Open another program to make phase shift measurements
7. Set SQR1 to some frequency , assign it to Channel 3
8. RC step response

Board bring up is one of the most under documented aspects of embedded development. I2C is such a powerful, low-cost, and ubiquitous method of communication, that a basic understanding of it's usage is essential to the embedded linux developer to quickly bring up and debug embedded designs. This presentation will look at the various software and hardware aspects of working with I2C using simple case studies highlighting the implementation of an EEPROM and a GPIO Expander. Most embedded Linux developers at some point in their career will be handed a piece of hardware that is untested. This presentation intends to provide some information about core tools and methods for bring up of I2C interfaces and assorted I2C based peripheral devices. David Anders has previously presented at Embedded Linux Conference 2012 with "Board Bringup: LCD and Display Interfaces".
