Hunyue Yau

Hunyue Yau is an electrical engineer who graduated from the California Institute of Technology. He has worked with Linux since the early '90s, starting with the Soft Landing System. He created one of the first embedded Linux devices in 1996 with a custom-made distribution. He has worked on various products such as embedded Linux appliances, embedded BSD-based devices, and embedded Linux mobile devices. As an active member of the BeagleBoard community, he has volunteered at numerous community events, from Maker Faire to Google Summer of Code mentoring. Today, Hunyue synergizes his electrical engineering skills with embedded Linux software skills to provide turnkey embedded Linux consulting services through HY Research LLC (http://www.hy-research.com/), a company founded by him.

Full network connection options

A full network connection to a mobile device generally means a full TCP/IP connection to the mobile device. This option has the following benefits:

  • A full TCP/IP connection, with the cooperation of the mobile device, can be expanded to provide Internet connectivity. It can provide access to cloud services, or with the right amount of cooperation, it can also provide services to the outside world.

  • Since a TCP/IP connection looks the same to most of the applications as the USB networking and Ethernet, it can simplify software development. Any program written to work with IP networking can work with a full TCP/IP network through a mobile device almost as it is. Again, the caveat is that the mobile device and the carrier it is using need to cooperate. Under Linux, the physical connectivity is largely transparent to the application. For example, our LED flasher from Chapter 4, Refining the LED Flasher, can be made accessible to a mobile device with no changes other...
