Loadable kernel modules and statically linked modules

Comparison between statically linked modules and loadable kernel modules

Statically linked modules

• They are linked to the kernel images
• They are loaded as part of the kernel during boot time, so there is no need to access them via some root file system
• For implementing any changes to statically linked modules, one needs to edit, recompile the kernel and afterwards reboot to load the new Linux Kernel

Loadable Kernel Modules (LKM) = dynamic modules

• They utilize by convention the suffix .ko which stands for “kernel object”
• The Loadable Kernel Modules consist of files in the file system with the extension .ko …

This tutorial explains the manner to deploy cross-platform applications made with the Qt framework (Qt Widgets or Qt Quick/QML) to mobile phones or tablets running Android. This article uses Qt Creator running on Windows Operating System as the tool for deployment.

Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

In this article, I am going to walk you through the process of setting up the Yocto Project to fetch the necessary content and build an Embedded Linux distribution supporting the GStreamer framework. Furthermore, I shall provide you with command-line examples to test-run the ability of GStreamer to run various sorts of multimedia.

Introduction

Gstreamer is an open-source multimedia framework that can be used to build all kinds of media applications (e.g. media playback, streaming, editing). The framework is designed to simplify the handling of video and audio or both simultaneously.

GStreamer works on with all major operating systems like Linux…
