In these days, the demand of users to extend available period of mobile systems is increased according as the functions of mobile systems have been varied and the use of multimedia application has been increased. This paper proposes an integrated power management framework that considers executed workload types for effective energy management. The conventional methods use DVFS technique for CPU and DPM technique for WNIC separately or simply combine them based on the assumption that they are orthogonal one another. However, the proposed mechanism determines the kind of workload under analysis of the characteristics of workloads incoming through a WNIC. The proposed method can reduce energy consumption of system level effectively by controlling CPU and WNIC to proper power mode based on analyzed characteristics of workload. The experimental result shows the proposed method reduces energy consumption by 9% for BE (Best Effort) workload, CBR (Constant Bit Rate) workload, and Interactive workload on average and by 16% to maximum when compared with the conventional methods which simply combine DVFS technique for CPU and DPM technique for WNIC.

In this paper, we have designed a fingerprint cognition system based on the embedded Linux. The proposed algorithm in this paper use the wavelet transform to derive the special feature vector from the captured fingerprint and a probabilistic neural network is used to compare the feature vectors for the fingerprints. The system consists of server PC based on the Linux and the client based on the embedded Linux. The client is a Tynux box-x board using the PXA-255 CPU. For the acquisition of the fingerprint image, we use d the AS-S2 semiconductor sensor. The system is likely to be used to develop a police inspection system.

Lately mobile handheld devices such as Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and cellular phones are getting more popular for personal web surfing. However, today most mobile handheld devices have relatively poor web browsing capability due to their low performance so their users have to suffer longer communication latency than those of desktop Personal Computers (PCs). In this paper, we propose an effective pre-refresh mechanism for embedded web browser of mobile handheld devices to reduce this problem. The proposed mechanism uses the idle time to pre-refresh the expired web objects in an embedded web browser's cache memory. It increases the utilization of Central Processing Unit (CPU) power and network bandwidth during the idle time and consequently reduces the client's latency and web browsing cost. An experiment was done using a simulator designed by us to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed mechanism. The experiment result demonstrates that it has a good performance to make web surfing faster.

In this study, a smart motor control and monitoring system is developed with an embedded board where Intel PXA255B CPU is mounted. Linux is ported into the embedded board as RTOS(Real Time Operating System), and the environment which communicate with a motor driver through serial protocol and is capable of controlling and monitoring the motor in real time is built in the system. A user friendly GUI is developed for the convenient operation of the system. Also, the environment which is able to control and monitor the motor driver remotely is built in the system using TCP/IP protocol.

In this paper, we have designed a Fingerprint Recognition System based on the Embedded LINUX. The fingerprint is captured using the AS-S2 semiconductor sensor. To extract a feature vector we transform the image of the fingerprint into a column vector. The image is row-wise filtered with the low-pass filter of the Haar wavelet. The feature vectors of the different fingerprints are compared by computing with the probabilistic neural network the distance between the target feature vector and the stored feature vectors in advance. The system implemented consists of a server PC based on the LINUX and a client based on the Embedded LINUX. The client is a Tynux box-x board using a PXA-255 CPU. The algorithm is simple and fast in computing and comparing the fingerprints.

An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software, and perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a specific function. In this paper, we design and implement efficient SDKs for the embedded system. When we develop the embedded system, we use the cross development method because of limited resource. Simulator, stub for GDB, and monitor are implemented in order. Simulator consists of 4 threads； CPU, display, I/O, timer thread. Stub is developed to connect GDB. Monitor is programed to improve stub and can debug the application program without the debugger in the host.

Current VOD embodiment way is embodied using PC base. However, achieved research that embody this by Embedded System that PC base is not. OS of this system used WindowsCE.net and x86core used having built-ined SC1200(National company's Geode's familys) by CPU and memory used 128MByte SDRAM. Used Mpeg Decoder for processing of video data, and used Enthernet Controller for Internet. Composite, component, S-Video of video output section of this system is and select one of these and connect on TV and did so that get into action. Actuality implementation manufactured necessary BIOS, WinodwsCE.NET Porting, DeviceDriver in system development and necessary simple Application in action confirmation, and Video Player used Window Media Player had included to WindowsCE.net. Therefore, treatise that see to supplement shortcomings of VOD service been embodying in current PC in Embedded System's form embody that there is sense do can.

Most of embedded systems have been developed practically based on the PC platform equipped with Intel x86 CPU since it is able to reduce the total time for product development and improve the reliability of product by making use of a variety of solutions developed for a long time in the PC environment. Also, embedded systems based on PC-platform mainly use a high-capacity hard disk as data storage device for applications intending to store multimedia data. Recently, while the capacity of hard disk is increasing rapidly, the start-up ready time of hard disk is growing longer more than 30 seconds. The lengthened start-up ready time may delay the booting time of embedded system seriously, weighting users down with inconvenience. This paper proposes the refined system architecture and the dynamic IDE device probing method for fast booting of linux kernel in the embedded system based on PC platform with high-capacity hard disks, and the performance of proposed methods is evaluated and presented.

As mobile computers and embedded systems are becoming popular recently, we need to study how to utilize the resources such as power, space, CPU clocks, and memory efficiently. In traditional embedded system development, we were interested in resource usage based on hardware but, as software is becoming more important, we need to study how to analyze the resource usage based on software. In this research, we propose a new method called 'Instruction Level Resource Usage Analysis Method' and implement it as a resource usage analysis tool called 'I-Debugger'. I-Debugger is constructed on three layers: debugging layer which controls the execution of software on instruction level, statistic layer which gathers real-time data and convert to useful information, and analysis layer which generate useful information to specific applications. We have applied the debugger to some simple problem and found that our method is useful in developing resource efficient embedded systems.
