Here is a great set of frequently asked questions and answers related to Software testing and quality assurance,this will server as a good introduction to the above topics.

Here are good links to Tornado II Frequently Asked Questions and the complete API reference.

enjoy!!

Here are some great C related links

1).Really funny but relavent “ten commandments for c programmers”.

2). Infrequently asked questions in C ( you know what i mean).

more to come soon.

Found a very good link with RTlinux patch,the required version of the linux kernel, the installation manual all on one page.click here to check it out

I downloaded the Fedora core 3 ISO’s and did a hard disk install(disk less install),its pretty easy and the steps to follow are quite simple

1). make a directory called iso0 at the root of the drive

mkdir iso0

2). mount the iso of the first disc(FC3-i386-disc1.iso) into this folder

mount -o loop -t iso9660 /FC3-i386-disc1.iso /iso0

*assuming you have the iso in “/”

3)Copy /iso0/images/pxeboot to the /boot directory cp -r /iso0/images/pxeboot /boot/
4) Modify Grub to include the following:

title Fedora (INIT)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/pxeboot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/pxeboot/initrd.img
people using lilo need to edit /etc/lilo.conf and add the appropriate line

5) Make note of where FC2-i386-DVD.iso resides by issuing the “df” command.

df
You’ll need this location after reboot. It’s something like /dev/hda1 or /dev/hdb2

6) Reboot. When asked for the location of the “iso” file select FILE on the Fedora menu.
put in the /dev/hda1 location above. Note if it’s in a subdirectory off of this
file system there is a text box to enter that as well.

The install should proceed on it’s own from here.

ps: the article at the above link deals with fedora 2 install using a DVD image,but the same steps work for Fedora 3.

I have been looking for applications of VXworks ,and i found that Motorola SB5100 runs VXworks,what is that you say? if only there was some way of accessing the shell?
there is and its called sigma but don’t know if it works for this particular model.

I Downloaded the RTlinux patch which can upgrade any plain vanilla Linux kernel to a real time OS,alas I haven’t been able to patch the kernel because of some dependency errors(using mandrake 9.0) ,will try again and post the results soon(as soon as i upgrade to fedora 3 that is )

if you want to give it a go,you can download the patch from here.

There is a great site called wikibooks.org, where several people are collaborating to write some great text books, if you have the time and resources to contribute in this effort please do. The best part about this is that the books are totally free .

also check out a text book I am writing on embedded systems at wikibooks.org

while searching for a Linux kernel programming tutorial ,I came across this great site created by my name sake kolluri hari you should check out his site if you want a comprehensive source of Linux related information.
