The book is targeted for those new to open software development or have been using closed solutions. Whether you are building a custom board or using off-the-shelf hardware, the book discusses the different open software solutions available for the Intel® Atom™ processor. For a dynamic learning experience, there are 23 hands-on exercises that help you set up a development machine to build the software for firmware, Linux distributions, and applications.

SecureBus™

Having worked with government and medical companies, USB device like USB flash disks, smart phones, and multifunction network printers connecting to open USB ports is a major concern. Locking down USB ports has been an open issue for various developers. There are network solutions if you are connected to a domain, but what about standalone embedded systems...

SecureBus™ is a patent pending security product that prevents unauthorized USB devices from working in Windows®. SecureBus™ works by injecting itself under the Windows™ Kernel, and acts like a firewall for USB host ports.  Any time a USB device is plugged into the system SecureBus™ will analyze the hardware and determine if it is an authorized USB device.  If the device is not an authorized USB device then SecureBus™ will prevent it from binding with the Windows® Kernel.

A free trial, demonstration video, datasheet, and more information can be found on the SecureBus page at annabooks.com
