A real-time processing system for embedded hardware genetic algorithm is suggested. In order to operate basic module of genetic algorithm in parallel, such as selection, crossover, mutation and evaluation, dual processors based architecture is implemented. The system consists of two Xscale processors and two FPGA with evolvable hardware, which enables to process genetic algorithm efficiently by distributing the computational load of hardware genetic algorithm to each processors equally. The hardware genetic algorithm runs on Linux OS and the resulted chromosome is executed on evolvable hardware in FPGA. Furthermore, the suggested architecture can be extended easily for a couple of connected processors in serial, making it accelerate to compute a real-time hardware genetic algorithm. To investigate the effect of proposed approach, performance comparisons is experimented for an typical computation of genetic algorithm.

Time-out is one of the basic but important functions in real-time programming. However, the C language used commonly in the embedded real-time systems doesn't support this capability. For this capability, there have been numerous studies on language extension and/or special purpose real-time kernel (or engine). Those require preprocessor or new kernel support. In this paper, we propose a time-out facility supported by a library and some macro functions with a minimum dependency on operating systems. Furthermore, we also provide a structured _within statement, a macro function which makes programming easy. We have implemented this for the LINUX and the DOS environment, and for the POSIX multithread environment as well.

In this paper, we describe photonic sensor interface and driver program based on SOPC(System on a programmable chip) platform. This platform uses device that has ARM922T processor and APEX FPGA area on a chip. As for driver program development, three different methods are tried such as simple firmware, real-time OS based program and embedded Linux based program, and results are compared for SoC implementation.

In this paper, the structure of integrated navigation computer for experiment is proposed. It is designed for considering the real time processing and data storage capacity. It will be used in missile, aircraft, submarine system and experimental vehicle. The I/O device supports IMU, GPS, odometer, altimeter, depth sensor, inclinometer etc. And the main storage device uses the tape device. That can improve the system stability. Therefore it can be used in a high dynamic or shock environment. The embedded linux is used as an Operating System. For the real time capability, sensor data processing and algorithm processing units are seperated. The time synchronization is referenced by IMU data.

Recently, UFRs (Unmanned Flying Robots) have begun to be utilized in various areas for civilian and military applications. Due to this increased utilization, accidents involving UFRsare also increasing. To prevent or monitor accidents caused by UFRs, high-accuracy positioning information is one of the most important technical elements. This paper proposes an efficient UFR monitoring system which provides accurate UFR positioning information with low-cost onboard elements; a small ARM module based on an embedded Linux operating system, a low-cost single frequency GPS receiver with a cheap patch antenna, and a versatile wireless network interface module. The ground monitoring system employs a dual frequency GPS receiver to generate exact UFR coordinates with cm-level accuracy. By processing the UFR measurements based on the Inverse RTK (Real Time Kinematic) method, the ground monitoring system determines the cm-level accurate coordinates of the UFR. The feasibility of the proposed UFR monitoring system was evaluated by three experiments in terms of data loss and accuracy.

In this paper, we implemented the object scanning with nxtOSEK which is an open source platform. nxtOSEK consists of device driver of leJOS NXJ C/Assembly source code, TOPPERS/ATK(Automotive real time Kernel) and TOPPERS/JSP Real-Time Operating System source code that includes ARM7 specific porting part, and glue code make them work together. nxtOSEK can provide ANSI C by using GCC tool chain and C API and apply for real-time multi tasking features. We experimented the 3D scanning with ultra sonic and laser sensor which are made directly by laser module diode and experimented the measurement of scanning the object by knowing x, y, and z coordinates for every points that it scans. In this paper, the laser module is the dimension of $6{\times}10[mm]$ requiring 5volts/5[mW], and used the laser light of wavelength in the 650[nm] range. For detecting the object, we used the beacon detection algorithm and as the laser light swept the objects, the photodiode monitored the ambient light at interval of 10[ms] which is called a real time. We communicated the 3D scanning platform via bluetooth protocol with host platform and the results are displayed via DPlot graphic tool. And therefore we enhanced the functionality of the 3D scanner for identifying the image scanning with laser sensor modules compared to ultra sonic sensor.

In this paper, we describe the world's first real-time ray-tracing chip architecture. Ray-tracing technology generates high-quality 3D graphics images better than current rasterization technology by providing four essential light effects: shadow, reflection, refraction and transmission. The real-time ray-tracing chip named RayChip includes a real-time ray-tracing graphics processing unit and an accelerating tree-building unit. An ARM Ltd. central processing unit (CPU) and other peripherals are also included to support all processes of 3D graphics applications. Using the accelerating tree-building unit named RayTree to minimize the CPU load, the chip uses a low-end CPU and decreases both silicon area and power consumption. The evaluation results with RayChip show appropriate performance to support real-time ray tracing in high-definition (HD) resolution, while the rendered images are scaled to full HD resolution. The chip also integrates the Linux operating system and the familiar OpenGL for Embedded Systems application programming interface for easy application development.

In this paper have developed a system for monitoring and processing the real time sensor data in remote site through network. For realizing this system, measurement equipment and protocol are used to transmit the measurement data to remote server and to process measurement data. In server part, the received data from remote site sensor is converted to text or graphic charts for user. The measurement device in sensor part receives the sensor data form sensor and store the received data to its internal memory for transmitting data to server part through Internet. Also the measurement device can receive data form server. The temperature sensor is connected to the measurement device located in laboratory and the measurement device measures temperature of laboratory which can be confirmed by user through Internet. We have developed a server programworking on the Linux to store measurement data from measurement device to server memory. The program is use for SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) to exchange data with measurement device. Also the program changes the measurement data into text and graphic charts for user display. The program is use apache PHP program for user display and inquiry. The real time temperature measurement system can be apply for many parts of industry and living.
