The State of PTXdist

UD2.218A
Roland Hieber
PTXdist has been around as a build tool for embedded systems for more than 16 years now, but many new features were added in the recent time. Most importantly this includes support for kconfig diffs and layered BSPs, infrastructure for code signing and license compliance, a homepage with online documentation and a cute logo, as well as several small improvements. This talk gives an overview for new and old users over the current feature set and the core concepts behind PTXdist.

This presentation deals with the integration of Julius Speech Recognition Engine. The aim of this Proof of Concept is to have a connectionless speech engine, working on an embedded device, integrated as a binding of the AGL Application Framework. The recognition uses Deep Neural Network realtime decoding, and for safer results and performances purpose, uses a grammar. Julius does not support wakewords out of the box, some hacking has been done to enable it in an efficient way. Tests have been ...

Homebridge is a lightweight NodeJS server that emulates Apple HomeKit API. Combined with versatile plugins it allows you to make any device Homekit-compatible. In the presentation you will understand how Homebridge works and how to integrated it in a custom embedded Linux distribution built with the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded. We will go through the exact steps for leveraging the latest release of Poky, the reference system of the Yocto Project, with systemd, X11, openbox, surf web browser, ...

IP video intercom systems combined with smartphones can leverage regular RTP/SIP VoIP technology to offer a new set of services to end-users: getting a notification when visitors press the door bell, seeing them on video before answering the call, interacting with them via voice and video and deciding to open the door, at home or anywhere else via wifi or 3G coverage. Linphone (a SIP user-agent) and Flexisip (a SIP proxy server) can be integrated into IP video door phones, in-house panels and ...

In FOSDEM 2013, Open Robotics introduced an overview of the Robot Operating System (ROS), an open software integration framework for robots created in 2007. After more than a decade of great success, powering from Robocup teams to NASA robots in space, ROS2 was born to break any limitation detected previously by roboticians all around the globe. It's an exciting time. This talk will explain the design changes and technical motivations that lead to the creation of ROS2 giving a quick overview of ...

Bosch has open sourced a true zero-copy middleware for inter-process communication on modern robotics and vehicle computers. The shared memory based solution is compatible with Linux/QNX and achieves data independent communication in constant time without serializing data. We would like to present our recent development towards an open-source release and demonstrate our performance and timing benchmarks on a privately developed embedded robot.

When printed circuit boards come out of the assembly line, a test fixture is required to perform functional testing and program the firmware. These fixtures, called bed of nails, are sturdy setups usually built for high volume production, and can be quite costly. The goal of this talk is to describe how you can build your own low cost fixture with basic PCB design skills and off the shelves components.

In this half hour we study aspects of physically and cryptographically secure hardware (often termed secure element or SE) and the integration into existing circuits. We illustrate utility of such integration by inspecting a cryptocurrency wallet design, and explain the difficulty presented by nondisclosure agreements (NDA) common to industry closed adversaries. We examine several hardware devices, study their parts under a close range circuit camera, and suggest instructions on their use.
