Embedded Linux Conference Redwood Shores, CA - Mike Anderson Keynote Speaker
The Internet of Things
Presented by Mike Anderson,

The PTR Group, Inc.
Thursday February 16, 2012
Hotel Sofitel San Franscisco Bay
Redwood Shores, CA
Consumers increasingly want inter-operability of their devices. They want to program their DVR via their mobile phone. They want their music available everywhere. They want their television to update social networking sites. But, as developers, how do we make this possible? This presentation will discuss the imminent "Internet of things" and how we can extend connectivity to previously "dumb" devices like TVs, refrigerators, and other appliances and how this connectivity is directly related to IPv6 support. The target audience for this presentation are platform developers looking to enable connectivity in a new class of intelligent appliances. This presentation is targeted at introductory-level developers with some understanding of the IP protocol stack. .

Android Builders Summit - Mike Anderson Speaker
Using OpenOCD JTAG in Android Kernel Debugging
Presented by Mike Anderson,
CTO/Chief Scientist,
The PTR Group, Inc.
Monday February 12, 2012
Hotel Sofitel San Franscisco Bay
Redwood Shores, CA
Owing to the use of the Linux kernel, Android device drivers can be debugged using many of the same techniques as Linux. Still, much of the user-space interface code typically found in Linux is missing in Android. This complicates the debugging of kernel driver code. This presentation will demonstrate the use of the open on-chip debug (OpenOCD) software and an inexpensive JTAG to debug Android kernel code. The target audience for this presentation are platform developers looking to debug their kernel code such as device drivers. This presentation is targeted at intermediate-level developers with some understanding of kernel code development..
Embedded Linux Conference - Mike Anderson Speaker
Adapting Your Network Code for IPv6 Support
Presented by Mike Anderson,
CTO/Chief Scientist,
The PTR Group, Inc.
Friday February 17, 2012
Hotel Sofitel San Franscisco Bay
Redwood Shores, CA
IPv6 support is no longer a "sometime in the future" thing. We've exhausted the IPv4 address space and need to start transitioning our code to support IPv6. But, is this a big thing or a little thing? This presentation will outline the typical changes that need to be made to networking code to support IPv6 and describe transition strategies to enable use in a dual-stack environment. The target audience for this presentation is developers who want to take advantage of the new IPv6 address space. This presentation is targeted at intermediate-level developers with some understanding of the IP protocol stack.

Transitioning to IPv6

We've finally done it. The world is out of IPv4 Internet addresses. We must finally come to grips with the transition to IPv6. But, what does this actually mean? Is it time to panic? We've seen the commercials. Parents being able to turn on the lights and monitor their kids at home remotely via their cell phones. But how can that work? While the consumer is demanding more intelligence and connectivity in everyday items like TV sets, DVD/Blu-ray players, and even refrigerators, this "Internet of Things" (IoT) is putting additional pressure on the already exhausted IPv4 address space. This presentation will outline what the transition to IPv6 will mean and how we can address the IoT as more intelligence and connectivity is pushed into our homes. .
