Hi everyone. Some time ago, we wrote about how we managed to run a SIP phone on the STM32F4-Discovery with 1 MB of ROM and 192 KB of RAM based on Embox. It should be noted that that version was minimal and connected two phones directly without a server, with voice transmission only in one direction. Therefore, we decided to launch […]
Hello! We in the Embox project have successfully launched Qt on the STM32F7-Discovery and would like to share our experience. Previously, we discussed how we managed to run OpenCV. Qt is a cross-platform framework that includes not only graphical components but also features like QtNetwork, a set of classes for database handling, Qt for Automation (in […]
I am one of the developers of the Embox operating system, and in this article, I will discuss how I managed to run OpenCV on the STM32746G board. If you search for something like "OpenCV on STM32 board," you can find quite a few people interested in using this library on STM32 boards or other microcontrollers. There are several videos that suggest […]
Mozilla has completed the testing phase for DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support and plans to launch the feature in the USA by the end of this month. After the full launch, the protocol will also be considered for other countries. This technology allows for the encryption of DNS traffic, although users will have the option to disable the function in the browser and use regular DNS queries. This is likely how users of systems […]
After a year of development, the release of the decentralized web platform ZeroNet 0.7 has been launched, which offers the use of Bitcoin's addressing and verification mechanisms combined with BitTorrent distributed delivery technologies to create websites that cannot be censored, forged, or blocked. The content of websites is stored in a P2P network on visitors' machines and verified by the owner's digital signature. The alternative root system is used for addressing [...],

Prologue There are several articles, such as How I Enrolled in Walden University's Distance Learning Master's Program (USA), How to Apply for a Master's Program in England, or Distance Learning at Stanford University. They all share one drawback: the authors discussed their early experiences in education or preparation. While this is undoubtedly useful, it leaves room for imagination. I will explain how it all happens […]
This week, the IT festival TechTrain will take place in St. Petersburg. One of the speakers will be Richard Stallman. Embox is also participating in the festival, and of course, we could not overlook the topic of open-source software. Thus, one of our presentations is titled “From Student Project to Open Source Project: The Embox Experience.” It will focus on the history of Embox's development as an open-source project. In […]

Often, the issue lies in the application's code itself — it only needs […]
