Explain the different phases of Embedded Product Development Life Cycle (EDLC).

By

1.Concept Phase:
Here analysis of the market trend is carried out.
The phase involves brain storming of innovative ideas driven by technology trends and customer inputs.

 2.Requirements Gathering Phase:
In this stage it determines what kind of hardware and software is required to satisfy the customers.

 3.Design Phase:
The product owner and design team will identify the relationship between input and output.
After investigating the overall behavior of the E.S a System specification is written.
A detailed hardware and software partitioning is determined.

 4.Development and Implementation Phase:
Based on the specification of embedded system functionality and power consumption and cost all the different hardware add on components are chosen and hardware implementation will start in the first sub-phase of implementation.

 5.Integration Phase:
The next step in the implementation process is the testing of the entire embedded system.

 6.Verification and Validation Phase:
The validation phase is to ensure that the entire system is implemented as against the design and eventually against the requirements.

 7.Maintenance and Retire Phase:
This phase includes changes and additions as required by the users and also fixing bugs to keep the product up and running at the customer site.

Explain the backing up and restoring files in Linux.

9.Explain the backing up and restoring files in Linux. Ans. 1. Backing-up and restoring files is done only by system administrator. 2. Because of built-in features, Linux doesn’t allow users to back-up their own files to removable disks. 3. It’s not enough to know that performing backup is your job, you need to formulate a strategy to making sure your system is not vulnerable to sudden disastrous disruptions. 4. If you have a high capacity tape drive and several good set of restore disks you can take backup every few days. 5. If you are managing a system with scores of users, you might find it more sensible to back up accounts and system configurations. 6. Only you can decide ‘what’ to backup, you need to decide ‘how frequently’ to perform backups, whether to maintain series of incremental backup. 7. You should maintain perfect backups without ever needing to restore to them, this means encouraging users to keep multiple copies of their important files in their ho...

Explain the file systems supported by Linux.

By
21.Explain the file systems supported by Linux. Ans. 1. Linux can read/write to several file system that originated with other operating system much different from Linux. 2. One reason that Linux supports so many file systems is the design of its virtual file system (VFS) layer, its provides a fairly universal forms of file support, file systems supported by Linux are as follows: 3. ext3: • Ext3 stands for third extended file system. • Starting from Linux Kernel 2.4.15 ext3 was available. • The main benefit of ext3 is that it allows journaling. • Journaling has a dedicated area in the file system, where all the changes are tracked. • When the system crashes, the possibility of file system corruption is less because of journaling. (If no journaling, then fsck command (file system consistency check) is used to check for the corrupted file and to repair that file). • ext3 keeps a record of uncommitted file transactions and applies only those transactions when the sy...

Explain the rc script and how they can be managed by manually.

By
18.Explain the rc script and how they can be managed by manually. Ans. 1. ‘rc’ scripts are stored in ‘/etc/rc.d’ directory, rc scripts are used to stop and start services for runlevels. 2. In ‘/etc/rc.d’ directory we have some additional directories rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d, rc5.d and rc6.d, the numbers in directory name corresponds to the runlevel and contains the scripts for runlevels. 3. For example let’s take runlevel 5, init program looks in the ‘/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/’ directory for the processes to start and stop. 4. All the scripts in the rc5.d directory are symbolic like to the actual scripts that are located in the ‘/etc/rc.d/init.d/’ directory. The use of symbolic link means that the runlevel can be modified by adding or removing symlinks or changing the order the script run. 5. rc scripts contains symbolic links which can be modified to change the runlevels. 6. Symbolic links begins with a ‘k’ and a number or an ‘s’ and a number. Example: S25netfs -...
