rsc's Diary: ELC-E 2018 - Day 1
This is my report from the first day of Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELC-E) 2018 in Edinburgh.
Open Source Firmware Conference 2018
At September 12-15 the first conference focusing exclusively on open source firmware took place in Erlangen, Germany - the OSFC 2018. The mission of this conference is to provide an appropriate platform to bring together as many Open Source projects, hardware manufacturers and developers as possible, in order to collaborate, share knowledge and push the firmware development in an Open Source manner.
Fixing ICECC, our Workhorse for Building BSPs

Pengutronix at FrOSCon 2018

Pengutronix TechWeek 2018: NIR for Etnaviv

Yes, it's again the time for the Pengutronix TechWeek!
