The Telecommuting Software Developer

Abstract: This thesis designs, and partially implements, an architecture for running an embedded Linux application on a regular PC, without access to the target device. This thesis shows how a standard Linux User space filesystem, in the right environment, can be used to emulate the most common User space GPIO interface in Linux, SysFS. Furthermore, this thesis sets up a template for how this architecture can be used to run both the embedded application and an application emulating the connected hardware.
