Research & implementation of uCLinux-based embedded browser

Abstract

Embedded browser is an important component to support Ubiquitous Computing in Information Appliances. How to develop an uCLinux-based embedded browser remains to be a big challenge and quite demanding. This paper uses Konqueror/embedded as a prototype. Based on the interactivity between the bottom network connection layers, it proposes a theory to turn the multi-process mechanism into multi-threads one and implements successfully on uCLinux, which provides us a methodology of how to transplant a concurrent system from normal Linux to uCLinux.
