V4L2 Camera Stack: Step-by-Step Guide for Custom Devices

The work of embedded video pipelines is demonstrated when you raise your phone to scan a QR code, get into a car with driver monitoring, or activate the FPV feed on a drone. There are cameras everywhere, and they’re not only for taking selfies. Autonomous cars, industrial inspection, medical imaging, AR/VR headsets, and security equipment are all powered by them. According to Grand View Research, the market for camera modules alone was estimated to be worth $47.74 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $87.59 billion by 2030. It is evident that video is central to embedded systems when

A Practical Guide to Meeting Early Boot Time Requirements

Check out our QNX BSP Demo in the NXP platform here, live in action – Click Here Why Is It Important to Optimise Boot Time? Businesses prefer boot time optimisation as it allows them to enhance user experience as well as operational efficiency. Moreover, for sectors such as automotive, where every passing second counts, quicker boot times offer more responsive systems. Similarly, embedded Linux boot time optimisation provides for enhanced reliability and performance when it comes to ADAS or infotainment systems. The below image vividly illustrates two critical scenarios – defence and medical – where choosing the right operating system

Understanding the Linux Board Support Package (BSP)

Understanding the Role of a Linux BSP A Linux Board Support Package (BSP) is a critical software layer that enables the Linux kernel to operate on specific embedded hardware. It includes bootloaders, device drivers, and configuration files tailored for a board’s processor and peripherals, such as I2C, SPI, or GPIO. Tools like Yocto and Buildroot simplify BSP creation by providing frameworks to customize kernels and filesystems. The BSP ensures hardware initialization and compatibility, reducing development time for applications in IoT, automotive, and consumer electronics. Without a Linux BSP, developers face manual integration challenges, delaying product launches. A robust BSP is
