Understanding Shared Memory in Linux IPC INTRODUCTION In modern Linux systems, processes typically operate in isolated memory spaces, making direct communication between them impossible without specialized mechanisms. This is where Interprocess Communication (IPC) becomes essential. Among various IPC techniques, shared memory stands out for its …

The Correct Method for Debouncing an Arduino Button  INTRODUCTION Mechanical buttons are simple components, but they can introduce a critical issue in microcontroller-based systems like Arduino—switch bouncing. When a button is pressed or released, the internal metal contacts physically bounce off each other before settling, causing a series of rapid, unintended electrical …

Inter Process Communication (IPC) INTRODUCTION Inter Process Communication (IPC) in Linux is a critical mechanism that allows processes to exchange data and synchronize their actions. It enables different processes to communicate and share information, whether they are related or not. IPC is essential for efficient …

Implementation of FIFO in Linux INTRODUCTION In Linux, inter-process communication (IPC) is vital for allowing different processes to exchange data and coordinate tasks. One of the simplest and most effective IPC mechanisms is the FIFO (First In, First Out), also known as a named pipe. …

The Role of Transistors in Embedded Systems: A Vital Building Block INTRODUCTION Embedded systems are at the heart of modern technology, seamlessly powering everything from everyday gadgets like smartwatches and home automation devices to critical applications in automotive safety and healthcare. These compact yet powerful …
