Howdy and Welcome…

This is Mani, an Electronics student who was fascinated by the world of bits and bytes hence made a career out of it :)

What do I love? In layman terms, I love electronics and its cousins :P. I got involved with the world of electronics just by sneaking inside of an old cassette recorder. Before knowing anything I hooked up ~230v supply to a capacitor inside it, expecting it to play me some random music for me…

But you might’ve guessed, that guy blew up. Well, that incident somehow fascinated me and as a result of it I chose Electronics and Communication as my Bachelor’s degree.

Then I came across a subject called ‘Embedded Systems’ which told me how to control electronics by programming. Cool isn’t it… Yeah…

From then my hobby, interest, career has been shaped with Embedded Systems and later with the Linux kernel.

In my free time I contribute to the Linux Mainline Kernel and advocate on open source technologies.

Here in Embedjournal I write blog posts on topics which interests me whenever I get free time…Probably I might be waiting for my patch to get reviewed in the mailing list :D

Alright. That’s about me and as all authors would say if you want to enjoy reading tech stories/tutorials, please subscribe to my posts :)

Last but not least, I love to do Organic farming and also a proud follower of Dr.Nammalzhvar.

Custom RFS for Beaglebone Black using Busybox

Hello folks, In my previous post on Linux kernel compilation for Beaglebone black, I had used pre-built RFS for booting the kernel. Also, I mentioned that the RFS could be built from scratch using a utility called Busybox. In this post, we’ll see, how to create a Custom RFS using...

Compiling and Deploying BeagleBone Black Kernel

It’s been a while since I wrote my first article and though I need to come up with something a little more advanced this time, something which will be perfect for the die-hard Linux users and those who await to get their hands dirty with some kernel grease. For the...

Interfacing 16x2 LCD with C2000 launchpad

There is CCS (Code Composer Studio) IDE for programming and debugging the Launchpad. It includes an optimizing C/C++ compiler, source code editor, project build environment, debugger, profiler, and many other features. Also, the presence of Control Suite, a support software containing libraries and examples makes the learning easy. Note: I...
