Embrace Eclipse




For those of you who don’t know, Eclipse Framework (http://www.eclipse.org/) is a freeware IDE. It’s SDK and documentation is freely downloadable from http://eclipse.org/downloads/ without any registration or fee required.

Eclipse primarily is an IDE to make IDEs. Many Silicon Valley Giants are either contributing or using Eclipse Framework for their Main Line Flagship software products, Following is the list of companies to name a few which are part of Eclipse Foundation :

Actuate, Agitar, Aldon, Avant Soft, BEA, Bedera Research, Borland, BZMedia, CA, Catalyst Systems, CodeNovo Consulting, Collabnet, db4Objects, Ericsson, ERTI, Espirity, Exadel, Genuitec, Hewlett Packard, Hitachi, IBM, ILOG, Innoopract, Innovent, Instantiations,Intel, ITG, Lombardi, Mentor Graphics, Monta Vista, Novell, NTT Com, Omondo, Nokia,Open Systems, Parasoft, Penton Media, Pure Edge, RTC, SAP, Scapa Tech, QNX, Schwartz Communications , Serena, Slick Edit, Social Physics, Sybase,Team Studio, Telelogic, Tensilica,Texas Instruments, Windriver,Nehrer

Also since Eclipse(free) gained acceptance as most widely used IDE (for JAVA ,C/C++ and C# also) therefore Borland donated its JBuilder (5000$) source to Eclipse IDE.

Apart from B2B industry, Eclipse is now considered to be standard IDE development Framework for Embedded Industry.

Eclipse's matchless Refactoring, Editing, Tabbed Source Browsing (like Firefox), Code Generation, Code Sorting, Externalization of Strings, Code Templates and much much more are the jewels of its crown. Moreover Eclipse IDE is HIGHLY EXTENSIBLE. Its level of extensibility and flexibility is nowhere else to be found.

Download Eclipse and give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Take a look at following for more details about Eclipse http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Eclipse_FAQs

Imote2 with Camera setup IMB400 over Ubuntu 9.10/10.04

Imote2 Camera driver for TinyOS is available in contribution directory of  TinyOS 2.x . It goes by the name of  tinyos-2.x-contrib . Its location within is  tinyos-2.x-contrib/intelmote2/apps I am assuming that you have tinyos-2.1.1 installed, this is required to have Camera Driver build. If you dont have it installed... than better have it done by invoking: apt-get install tinyos-2.1.1 From here on to get the driver working,  the procedure is as follows: Browse to opt directory. cd /opt The recommended way to get the source of tinyos-2.x and tinyos-2.x-contribis is through CVS. echo "Getting TinyOS 2.x and TinyOS 2.x-contrib from CVS" echo "Press enter when asked for password." cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos co -P tinyos-2.x cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos co -P tinyos-2.x-contrib --OR--  e...

Artificial Intelligence - Weak AI vs Strong AI

Source:  http://www.faculty.umb.edu/gary_zabel/Courses/Bodies,%20Souls,%20and%20Robots/Texts/Artificial%20Intelligence%20.htm Artificial Intelligence As a theory in the philosophy of mind, artificial intelligence (or AI) is the view that human cognitive mental states can be duplicated in computing machinery. Accordingly, an intelligent system is nothing but an information processing system. Discussions of AI commonly draw a distinction between weak and strong AI. Weak AI holds that suitably programmed machines can simulate human cognition. Strong AI, by contrast, maintains that suitably programmed machines are capable of cognitive mental states. The weak claim is unproblematic, since a machine which merely simulates human cognition need not have conscious mental states. It is the strong claim, though, that has generated the most discussion, since this does entail that a computer can have cognitive mental states. In addition to the weak/strong distinction, it is also ...

Tensorflow - Simplest Gradient Descent using GradientDescentOptimizer

Below is the code to find the minimum possible value of weight (w) such that the outcome of equation is closest to 0, using Gradient Descent method. These weights are multiplied with input (x) to compute cost, thus minimizing it. The equation is below... w 2 - 10 w + 25 ---------------------- (i) i.e. ( w - 5 ) 2 Thus, the coefficients from (i) would be 1, -10 and 25 import numpy as np import tensorflow as tf coefficients = np.array([[ 1 ], [ - 10 ], [ 25 ]]) # try 1, -20, 100 -- line 4 w = tf.Variable([ 0 ], dtype = tf.float32) x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [ 3 , 1 ]) cost = (x[ 0 ][ 0 ] * w ** 2 ) + (x[ 1 ][ 0 ] * w) + x[ 2 ][ 0 ] # (w-5)^2 train = tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer( 0.01 ).minimize(cost) init = tf.global_variables_initializer() with tf.Session() as session: session.run(init) print (session.run(w)) for i in range ( 1000 ): session.run(train, feed_dict = {x:coefficients}) print (session.run(w)) T...
