Indian Railways (IR), the largest rail network in Asia and the world’s second largest under one management, spanning over 6000 stations, carries 17 million passengers every day. Only a million passengers travel with reserved seat tickets, and the remaining 16 million passengers travel each day without a confirmed seat. While reserved ticketing is enabled technology, there was still no respite for passengers queuing at the unreserved ticket counters. JTBS was conceptualised and introduced with a view to improve dispensation of unreserved tickets in market instead of going to the station and provide jobs.

I was lucky enough to receive not one but two Raspberry Pi‘s from the first production lot. I don’t know how. Guess the British have a soft spot for us Indians

I am working on building a thin client using the Raspberry Pi platform. I currently have Squeeze (Debian 6.0) booting on the board, and have tested FreeRDP to be working fine. I don’t have an awesome Windows Server to test against. So I did one better. I connected it to an XRDP server across the planet. The XRDP server is a on 4 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up DSL link in India. I am on a 3 Mbps DSL link on AT&T. The results weren’t awesome, of course. They were not as good as the same setup with an Atom N455 on the client side (again, that’s expected).

The long term plan is to get RemoteFX acceleration going using the DSP in the onboard processor. But everyone knows that Broadcom isn’t being very helpful to DSP or graphics hackers on the Raspberry Pi.

For now, I am making a build script to generate firmware. I am also looking at various Debian flavours, such as Wheezy armel, Wheezy armhf, and Precise armel. I remember seeing somewhere that Precise won’t work on the Raspberry Pi – in which case I’ll just drop that from the list.

I’ve been building embedded Linux systems for more than 10 years. This means I’ve worked a lot with sysV style init. It is robust and time tested, but it has its limitations. There are now multiple projects working to supplant sysinit’s dominance, such as Upstart and systemd.

I work quite a bit with Fedora, building both nfsroot filesystems for diskless workstations, and embedded firmware based on Fedora repositories. Fedora is an odd choice for this kind of work; most people would go with Debian or Ubuntu.

Fedora migrated to systemd back in release 15. Since systemd was new, I decided to hold back and not upgrade all my toolchains to Fedora 15. Now we are on 17, and things look rather stable. So I took the plunge on making an nfsroot system using Fedora 17. The end result is similar to LTSP5/Meukow – only all the packages are awesomely new thanks to Fedora being on the cutting edge.

Documentation on systemd is sparse, so I had some trouble figuring out how to trim systemd down. With sysinit things are easier. You just cut through rc.sysinit till it looks nice and trim. You also use chkconfig to turn off irrelevant services. And of course disable selinux. The Fedora team has put up some useful documentation on tweaking and using systemd. They also have a sysVinit to systemd cheatsheet, and a debugging guide. These pages were a great help.

When I first tried booting my nfsroot filesystem, it wouldn’t boot. By adding

systemd.confirm_spawn=true

to the kernel commandline, I was able to control each command in systemd, and figure out which once was crashing.

A nice ability of systemd is to run chkconfig style commands on a chroot filesystem, without chrooting into it. This is similar to yum’s –installroot functionality, which is what I used to build the filesystem in the first place. So, to disable cron on the new system you just build, you’d give

systemctl --system --root=$TARGET disable crond.service

Where $TARGET is the path to your chroot.

There are a number of services that systemd launches, which cannot be disabled using the command above. Hyperlinks to these services/commands also do not exist in /etc/systemd. The only way I found was to delete symlinks to these commands from /lib/systemd/system. Some of the commands that I found to be of no use in an embedded/desktop system are:

/lib/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/*binfmt*
/lib/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/cryptsetup.target
/lib/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/dev-hugepages.target
/lib/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/fedora-configure.service
/lib/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/fedora-import-state.service
/lib/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/fedora-readonly.service

Thinvent thin client solution for education meets the growing need of modern educational institutions. We design and deploy thin client solutions based on Linux and other open source software packages. The solution helps to access any virtual customized environment to your desk. Thin clients are often deployed in computer and learning labs, as well as integrated into classroom learning.

Educational institutions need to provide the latest computing facilities to their students. IT knowledge is very important to the employability of a student, hence they should be familiar with the best software and solutions in the industry. This means that institutions must upgrade their PCs every two to three years, in keeping with the times.

Thin clients, on the other hand, do not need an upgrade. All their computational power comes from the server. Hence, whenever the computer system feels sluggish, we only need to upgrade the server. A server is typically twice the cost of a PC and serves about forty thin clients easily. Hence, rather than spending the cost of forty PC every three years, we are now spending on only the cost of two PCs.
