BayLibre contributions to Linux v6.15
Linus released Linux 6.15 on May 26, 2025. BayLibre contributed to this release across several subsystems. IIO Infrastructure While reviewing the subsystem-wide conversion from iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() to iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts(), David Lechner found and fixed a number of bugs related to 64-bit timestamps that could be incorrectly aligned on some 32-bit architectures. Guillaume Ranquet introduced the FAULT event […]
Why and How to Migrate from Bare Metal to Zephyr RTOS?
Why and How to Migrate from Bare Metal to Zephyr RTOS? Introduction: At BayLibre we are often asked by our customers to help them select the right software for their embedded mission. For a long time, “bare metal” (direct programming on hardware) has been the norm, mainly due to particularly limited hardware resources. However, with […]
