In this paper, web based monitoring systems are implemented for multi-axis force control systems of an intelligence robot. A brief review about the principle of multi-axis force sensors and a method that can reduce the effect of noise signal to sensor performance is presented. A web based monitoring system is implemented by porting Linux at embedded systems which include Xscale processors. A device driver is developed to receive data from multi-axis force sensors in Linux operation systems. To control this device driver, a socket program for web browser is also developed. The experiments are performed to investigate the effectiveness of proposed methods. The experimental results show that the values of force sensors can be monitored by remote PCs.

본 논문에서는 Windows Embedded CE의 스트림 인터페이스 드라이버(Stream Interlace Driver)를 개발하는 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 한다. Windows Embedded CE 디바이스가 부팅되면서 스트림 인터페이스 드라이버는 디바이스 매니저에 의해 메모리로 로프(Load)되고 디바이스가 꺼질 때 메모리로부터 언로드(Unload)된다. 디바인스 드라이버를 변경하여 다시 적용한 후 결과를 확인하고자 할 때 OS 바이너리 이미지를 새로 생성한 후 이미지를 다시 다운로드 하거나 드라이버를 플랫폼 빌더에서 등록한 후 해당 디바이스를 재 부팅하고 Kernel Interlace Layer(KITL)를 사용하여 그 결과를 확인할 수 있다. OS 바이너리를 새로 만드는 경우 이미지 생성과 다운로드 시간이 많이 소요되고, KITL를 사용하는 경우 매번 부팅 하는 과정을 반복해야 하기 때문에 시간이 더 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 데스크탑에서 Remote API를 이용하고 Stream Device Driver를 디바이스에 전달한 후 그것을 Remote API를 사용하여 로드하고 언로드하는 구조를 제안한다.

A large portion of the embedded system development process involves the integration of hardware and software. Unfortunately, communication across the hardware/software boundary is tedious and error-prone to create. This paper presents an automatic hardware/software interface generation system. As the front-end of hardware/software co-design frameworks, a system designer defines XML specifications for hardware functions. Our system generates hardware/software interfaces including Device Driver, Driver API, and Device Controller from these specifications. Embedded software designers can easily use hardware just like system libraries. Our system reduces the mistakes and errors that can be occurred when a software programmer directly connects software to hardware, and supports balancing labors between hardware developers and software programmers. Moreover, this system can be used as the back-end for a hardware/software co-design framework.

As IoT devices become more common in the public sphere, the energy efficiency of embedded systems becomes a problem of major interest in addition to the system performance. Energy efficiency is important for portable embedded systems because they obtain power from their battery, and a low energy efficiency will result in a low usage time while a high energy efficiency will allow for longer usage time. In this paper, we propose a memory usage based frequency selection method to improve the energy efficiency of embedded Linux systems by using devfreq to select the device's system frequency. In our experiments, we found that the proposed method reduces energy consumption in an embedded device by up to 18%.

Recently, embedded processor systems have been widely used in the field of information communication devices and increased its use range and influence. The embedded systems are offered variety of functions, and its operating systems have been developed to make them easy to repair and maintain. Especially embedded linux is very cheap and provide a lot of equipment drivers. Also we can set up our own system because the source code is opened. In this paper, we describe the implementation of Touch panel and TFT-LCD device driver that are widely used for multimedia application. We designed the system hardware by using Altera Nios II embedded system. And we implemented the device drivers of frame buffer, touch panel and i2s based on uClinux for multimedia application, and tested actual operations of the integrated system.

An embedded sensor is significantly influenced by its spatial environment, such as barriers or distance, through low power and signal strength. Due to these causes, noise data frequently occur in an embedded sensor. Because the information acquired from the embedded sensor exists in a time series, it is hard to detect an error which continuously takes place in the time series information on a realtime basis. In this paper, we proposes an error detection method based on time-series prediction that detects error signals of embedded sensors in real time in consideration of the physical characteristics of embedded devices. The error detection method based on time-series prediction proposed in this paper determines errors in generated embedded device signals using a stable distance function. When detecting errors by monitoring signals from an embedded device, the stable distance function can detect error signals effectively by applying error weight to the latest signals. When detecting errors by monitoring signals from an embedded device, the stable distance function can detect error signals effectively by applying error weight to the latest signals.

The SoC and digital technology development recently enabled the emergence of information devices and control devices because the SoC present many advantages such as lower power consumption, greater reliability, and lower cost. It is required to use an embedded operating system for building control systems. So far, the Real-Time operating system is widely used to implement a Real-Time system since it meets developer's requirements. However, Real-Time operating systems reveal a lack of standards, expensive development, and license costs. Embedded Linux is able to overcome these disadvantages. In this paper, the implementation of control system platform using Real-Time Embedded Linux is described. As a control system platform, we use XScale of a Soc and build Real-Time control platform using RTAI and Real-Time device driver. Finally, we address the feasibility study of the Real-Time Embedded Linux as a Real-Time operating system for mobile robots.

In order to supply emotion service depending on user's emotional change in a mobile environment, various researches have been carried. This paper discusses a protocol for wireless charging and an embedded platform of the mobile emotional sensing device which supports that. Wireless charging process relieves user's vexatious task to charge the emotional sensing device. To support wireless charging, there are one basestation and several mobile devices. Basestation coordinates and controls the devices over wireless communication, as well as supplies energy. For 1:N communication we defines the network whose superframe is classified into four categories: a network join superframe, a charging request superframe, a charging superframe and an inactive superframe. Physical layer provides how to supply energy to the devices and communicate physically. Mobile device is equipped with energy charged circuits, which correspond with the defined energy supplying method, as well as bidirectional communication circuits. Mobile device monitors and analyzes its own battery status, and is able to send a request packet to basestation. Therefore, it can be charged before its battery is exhausted without user's perception.

Recently, most embedded systems have the multi-functions mixed the hardware with the software. The existing sequence programming methods are not suitable to implement the embedded system with multi-functions. So, it can be overcome the limit of a facility implementation by introducing the operating system in system. Also, due to the requirement about the better convenient and comfortable meeting or lecture environment, the necessity of electronic white-board is getting higher. Specially, the education using multimedia information is much more desirable for various and improved lecture at the high school and the university. But the sequence program which have been managed in existing electronic white-board system has some difficulties to achieve the software-oriented systems which has to accomplish many functions. In this paper, we propose the method to implement a facility of electronic white-board through using the embedded linux with excellent performance. The embedded linux presents the powerful software environment for the implementation of an embedded system and makes the realization of many various functions easy because it follows kernel characteristics of linux. In this paper, we describe the details for the structure of hardware, kernel source and device driver of a developed electronic white-board.
