Event-based I/O with JavaScript on embedded Linux provides single-language development of web-based visual monitors and controls with a broad range of sensors and actuators. Simple open hardware and software examples enable rich, affordable collaboration upon Linux. Connecting various sensor types, building Processing.JS-based visualizations and sharing your creation are also covered.

Have you always wanted to create hardware devices to interact with the real world? Heard about the Arduino electronics prototyping platform but not sure how to get started? When you attend this workshop you will: set up an Arduino board & software; learn how the Arduino fits into the field of physical computing; and make your Arduino respond to button presses and blink lights. Hardware is fun!

A quick intro to embedded Linux development and a survey of the capabilities and limits of the most interesting hardware available for experimenting by hardware hackers, and the skills needed to make effective use of it. Ranging from Plug Computers to bare development boards, miniaturized systems and rooted hard drives, the ever-growing bestiary of ARM devices at our disposal for projects is fun!

The Yocto Project™ is an open source collaboration project that provides tools to enable you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products. This presentation describes the project in detail, contrasts it with other existing solutions, and provides a working example showing how you can create your own embedded distribution, with or without hardware.

A logical approach to designing an Android sensor subsystem within a consumer product. At the outset it appears simple but once tasked it is a monumental effort with several complex trade-offs. The approach covers vendor algorithms, power, and latency issues in addition to the overall end to end architecture (sensor selection though plumbing libraries into the sensor frameworks).
