這才是牛人

對岸喜歡用「牛b」這詞稱讚高手的技能,而高手也自然成為「牛人」,基本上我每天都會掛在 #debian-zh IRC channel,有時候會有朋友戲稱我為「牛人」,不過我可擔當不起,咱們來看看貨真價實的「牛」人吧。

LinuxDevices.com 有篇報導 [Device Profile: DeLaval Voluntary Milking System],提到一家有 122 年歷史的牛奶供應商 DeLaval 也採用 Linux 來監控這些乳牛的產能與環境狀況,之前的 blog [幕後的英雄:談 Embedded Systems 設計] 提到 Embedded Systems 以許多不同的風貌與型態存在,DeLaval 的系統也可算是,其系統規格如下:
  • 硬體:
      Advantech PCM-5820, a 3.5-inch single-board computer (SBC) with an AMD Geode GX1 processor clocked at 200MHz. The board features 10/100 Ethernet, VGA and LVDS LCD ports, a CompactFlash socket, and PC/104 expansion.

      The VMS uses 64MB of RAM, and boots from a 40GB hard drive -- only 1 percent of which is actually used, according to Hans Hansson, DeLaval's technical manager of process management. The embedded computer interfaces with the robotic arm and other VMS subsystems using serial ports, while Ethernet connectivity allows remote monitoring.
  • 軟體:
      based on a 2.4.18 kernel with ext3 and some real-time extensions added, Hansson says. The filesystem is derived from Red Hat 7.3, and the graphical user interface is based on xfree86.
如果對系統運作有興趣,可以觀賞該公司製作的影片 [Automatic milking movies]。說來說去,這跟第一段提到的「牛人」有什麼關係呢?看看新聞稿裡面的圖片:
看吧,真正的牛人就是這樣的!有乳牛作陪,這位「牛人」在電腦前面專心的分析報表,研究箇中的數據呢 :-)

Advantech不就是國內的研華嗎?印象中大多還是搭windows在賣的。
