What I'd love to do is pass one "path" to the library, and have the application then automa...

I have an RFID reader connected to an Arduino board. I'd like to connect to it over its serial interface, and whenever the RFID reader omits a signal ( when it has read an (RF)ID ), I'd like to retrieve it in my C++ program.

In a Linux embedded application I'm developing, there is the need to record some events that happen from time to time. These records are saved on a MTD flash device and once written there is no need to change them or do efficient searches, but read access is required to show the data back to the user. A big problem is that power can go a...

I'm working on a Linux based server system in which there are two network interfaces, both on the same subnet (for now, lets just say they are 172.17.32.10 & 172.17.32.11). When I send data to a host on the network, I would like to specify which interface on my server the data is transmitted on. I need to be able to switch from one int...

A python script need to spawn multiple sub-processes via fork(). All of those child processes should run simultaneously and the parent process should be waiting for all of them to finish. Having an ability to set some timeout on a "slow" child would be nice. The parent process goes on processing the rest of the script after all kids are...
