VI. CONCLUSION
[14]
A novel bare machine temperature sensor application was
described in this paper. The application, which does not use
any OS, kernel, or embedded system, has a direct API to
communicate with and control the hardware. A methodology
to develop the sensor application for an ARM processor was
also given. In particular, the bare machine interfaces to build
sensor applications on ARM were identified, and internal
design/implementation details of the relevant hardware API
were presented. Functional operation and the bare machine
aspects of ARM were discussed. The development
methodology can be adapted to build other bare sensor ARM
applications, and bare applications that are portable across a
variety of mobile and pervasive devices with ARM processors.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We sincerely thank NSF and in particular the late Dr. Frank
Anger, who initially supported this work by funding through
SGER grant CCR-0120155. Without his encouragement, bare
machine computing concept and explorations could not have
been possible.
