Summary
Dart on Debian on BeagleBoneBlack, plus a Linux HPC update
Abstract
Debian + Dart + BeagleBoneBlack
Brian DeLacey introduces the recent packaging of the Dart language
for Debian on the BeagleBoneBlack. We'll look at Wheezy today and Jessie
tomorrow. Brian's demos will showcase a webserver and a variety of
sensor circuits and applications running Dart on the Debian-friendly
BeagleBoneBlack. We'll discuss how this simple setup ties into the core
ideas of "The Physical Web" project, recently announced by Google.
We'll revisit the crazy code churn rant heard round the community,
and why Device Tree architecture was a huge revolution for ARM
platforms. We'll also review the evolution of GPIO in the Linux kernel
for software controlled digital signals. Bring your multimeter for a
closer look at power efficient computing.
Also, Kurt Keville updates us on the current state of Linux High
Performance Computing (HPC).
