Still reading and learning

It's been a while that I wrote some stuff here because in fact there's not much to tell at the moment. I'm waiting for the PCB to finish and the order of the components. In the meanwhile I reorganized my computer parc. I had to reinstall the ubunthu installation on my new laptop. The avr studio is already up and running so I can continue my development.

Concerning the books i'm reading well it's the book on kernel development which is near my bed at the moment. Still much to read i'm half way now. All concepts of the linux operating system get the attention step by step. Not that I need these things directly but the intention is to get a better in depth view on the OS itself.

I also experimented with the general security on the ngw meanwhile. The device drivers I'll use in my final user space program are owned by root as user and I wanted to login with my own user name. I added myself in the root group to be able to have access to these drivers. This works great.

I think in about a month I'll start programming again on this project. As soon the PCB is ready I'll post some picture as promised. Just have some patience now.

My development PC is a laptop now Toshiba P200 dual core with dual boot Vista / linux.
I noticed the linux has some better respons ;-)
