In this paper, we propose a fast booting solution with embedded linux-based smart devices. We have divided the fast boot process into six steps, such as boot loader, kernel, file system, the init-scripts, shared libraries, and applications for an embedded linux-based boot process to improve the fast booting. Improvements for the fast boot are made in the boot loader phase, which is the first phase at power-up, and the init-script that runs the boot loader phase. To improve the fast booting, standby time from the boot loader and unnecessary initialization routine have been removed, and uncompressed kernel image loading as well as optimized copy routine have been applied. Further, a technology that replaces binary scripts in init-script phase and light-weight init process have been utilized to improve the boot.

This paper describe the implementation or the boot loader for the boot system using of memory card. This boot roader consist of the system initialization, CF card checking, CF memory card checking, file system and the program relocator. This boot loader increase the system stability with program consistency checking algorithm in the read phase from the CF memory card. And this system have the compatibility in CF memory card file system, so system manufacturing productivity increase.

The next generation LID satellite has 64KB PROM which contains the boot loader and the monitor software, and two 4MB NVMEMs which are used for flight software storage. The boot loader has two operation modes which are the flight software mode and the monitor mode. In the flight software mode, it checks CRC checksum of selected NVMEM and copies flight software image from NVMEM to RAM And then it starts VxWorks RTOS in RAM, creates flight software tasks, and starts execution of flight software. In the monitor mode, it activates monitor software which performs NVMEM reprogramming and board-level testing on the ground. This paper is to present the design of Boot ROM software and verification method using simulator.

The evaluation AP embedded Linux board is implemented. The board is made of IBM 405 GP processor, PPCBoot-1.2.1 boot loader, Linux-2.4.21 kernel and root file system. The evaluation board has two flash memories, boot flash and application flash of size 512Kbyte and 16Mbyte, respectively. And it supports IEEE 802.11a which provide the maximum throughput of 54Mbps in the 5.2GHz frequency band. MTD(Memory Technology Device) and JFFS2(Journalling Flash File System version 2) technologies are adopted to optimally package the system software, boot loader, kernel and root file system. And in order to optimize root file system, busybox package and tiny login are used. Linux kernel and root file system is combined together with mkimage utility.

Windows CE는 Microsoft사의 Windows 운영체제 가운데서 가장 작은 운영체제로서 일반 데스크톱 Windows 커널을 수용할 수 없는 소형/임베디드 장비에서 주로 사용되어진다. 현재 Windows CE에서 사용되고 있는 부트로더로는 E-boot(Ethernet bootloader)가 있으며 RAM 이미지와 플래시 이미지 다운로드 기능을 제공한다. E-boot의 문제점으로는 플래시 메모리상에서 부팅을 수행하기 때문에 NOR 타입의 플래시만을 지원하여, 컴팩트 플래시와 같은 NAND 타입의 플래시 지원하지 않는다. 이는 OS Binary 이미지의 용량이 NOR 플래시를 초과할 경우에 수행이 불가능하다는 문제를 발생시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 E-boot를 수정하여 NDR 플래시보다 상대적으로 가격이 저렴하고 휴대성이 좋은 컴팩트 플래시 메모리를 이용하여 부팅이 가능한 부트로더를 구현한다. 또한 컴팩트 플래시 지원을 위한 새로운 읽기/쓰기 메카니즘을 소개한다.

In this paper we propose the boot system using CF memory card and study the system implementation method. The system that is proposed in this paper basically consist of high performance microprocessor, small amount of program memory and CF memory card. And added LCD module and touch panel for the user interface. This system use the CF memory card and DRAM instead of the Flash memory, so it can reduce the system cost. And system performance is increased because of the system program running in the DRAM.

운영체제(Operating System)는 사용자의 하드웨어, 시스템 자원(System Resources)을 제어하고 프로그램에 대한 일반적 서비스를 지원하는 시스템 소프트웨어(System Software)이다. 시스템 하드웨어를 관리할 뿐아니라 응용 소프트웨어를 실행하기 위하여 하드웨어 추상화 플랫폼과 공통 시스템 서비스를 제공한다. 최근에는 가상화 기술의 발전에 힘입어 실제 하드웨어가 아닌 가상 머신(HyperVisor) 위에서 실행되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 다중 코어 프로세서를 타겟으로 한 소규모 운영체제 개발 프로젝트의 일환으로 부트로더를 설계하고 구현하였다. 부팅은 최초 컴퓨터에 전원이 들어온 후 운영체제가 실행할 수 있는 환경을 구축하는데 가장 중요한 역할을 하는 프로그램이며, 이를 잘 활용하면, 임베디드 시스템, IOT 등 다양한 분야에 이용할 수 있다.

In this paper, we study the verification techniques for OS integrity that can be more fatal than applications in case of security issues. The dissemination of smartphones is rapidly progressing and there are many similarities of smartphones and PCs in terms of security risks. Recently, in mobile network environment, there is a trend of increasing damages and now, there are active researches on a system that can comprehensively respond to this. As a way to prevent these risks, integrity checking method on operation system is being researched. As most integrity checking algorithms are classified by verification from the levels before booting the OS and at the time of passing on the control to the OS, in which, there are minor differences in the definitions of integrity checking or its methods. In this paper, we suggests the integrity verification technique of OS using a boot loader and a physically independent storing device in the mobile device.

Linux has peculiarities of safety, flexibility, and open source. and Linux supports various hardware platforms. But because general Linux was designed for high performance H/W, Linux has several points to support for embedded system with limited resource. Specially, a main point is booting time that is spent to tens of second. In this paper, we purpose a fast booting scheme of Linux for Embedded System and estimate a performance of scheme purposed through realized prototype. Specially, to reduce booting time in environment of embedded system, we optimize boot loader, kernel and root file system. As a result, boot time reduce 28 second to 11 second in HBE-EMPOS II.

In this paper, development of embedded system based on Windows CE 5.0 which released recently is studied. Embedded softwares for the target board using S3C2410A SOC based on ARM920T core are composed of (1) BSP(Board Support Package) contains an OAL(OEM Adaptation Layer) which includes a boot loader for initializing and customizing target hardware, device drivers, and a corresponding set of configuration files (2) Windows CE 5.0 kernel (3) SDK and MP3 test application. Particularly, PB(Platform Builder) provides the efficient functions to build, test and debug the BSP and CE kernel. It is looked forward to being widely spread that Windows CE 5.0 will be utilized at smart devices such as PMP, CNS and DMB phone which inevitably require a display device.
