How to Upgrade from WSL to WSL2 on Windows 10

On Windows 10, it is possible to upgrade the Windows Subsystem for Linux platform to version 2, this included the already installed Distributions, and in this article are the steps required to convert to WSL2. The Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) is an updated version of the implementation that uses a very light virtual machine instead of a direct translation between both operating systems, allowing for noticeable improvements in performance and complete call compatibility support.

In this article are the steps to upgrade WSL to WSL2 and convert Linux distros to version 2 on Windows 10. 


  1.  Download this WSL2 kernel update (required
  2.  Install the downloaded file 
  3.  Open Start.
  4. Run PowerShell in Administrative Option 
  5. Type the following command to set Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 your default architecture for new distros you’ll install and press Enter:
    wsl --set-default-version 2
     

  6.  Type the following command to get a list of all the distros installed on your device and press Enter:
    wsl -l -v
  7. Type the following command to convert the distro from WSL 1 to WSL 2 and press Enter:
    wsl --set-version DISTRO-NAME 2
    In the command, make sure to replace DISTRO-NAME for the actual name of the Linux distribution.
  8. Type the following command to verify the version of the distro and press Enter:
    wsl -l -v

    1. Confirm the distros are set to version 2.

       All done  

    Once you complete the steps, you may need to repeat steps 7 through 10 to convert the remaining distros to version 2.

How to program 8051 based MCU using Ptroteous Schematic capture and Source code editor to use timers using AT892051 + project files

 This tutorial is dedicated to use a 8051 based Microcontroller core and program it using keil's C51 tools on the Proteus Source code editor.  1- Brief History of 8051 one of the first microprocessors 4004 was invented by Intel Corporation as well as  8085 and 8086 microprocessors back in 1981,shortly after Intel introduced an 8-bit microcontroller called the 8051 . It was referred to as system on a chip because it had 128 bytes of RAM, 4K byte of on-chip ROM, two timers, one serial port, and 4 ports (8-bit wide), all on a single chip. When it became so widespread, Intel allowed other manufacturers to make and market different flavors of 8051 with its code compatible with 8051. It means that if you write your program for one flavor of 8051, it will run on other flavors too, regardless of the manufacturer. This has led to several versions with different speeds and amounts of on-chip RAM. 2- Features of AT892051 Microcontroller Compatible with MCS®-51Products 2K ...

What is the ESP32 VSPI / HSPI

 The ESP32 integrates four SPI peripherals. SPI0 and SPI1 are used to access the ESP32’s attached flash memory and thus are currently not open to users to be used . They share one signal bus via an arbiter. SPI2 and SPI3 are general purpose SPI controllers, sometimes referred to as HSPI and VSPI, respectively. They are open for use. SPI2 and SPI3 have independent signal buses with the same respective names. Each bus has three CS lines to drive up to three SPI slaves.

Industrial Internet Use-Cases

The potential for the Industrial Internet is vast with opportunities spread over wide areas of productivity, such as logistics, aviation, transportation, healthcare, energy production, oil and gas production, and manufacturing. As a result, many use-cases will make industry executives wake up and consider the possibilities of the IIoT. After all, industry only requires a minimal shift in productivity to deliver huge revenue, an example is that even an increase of 1% of productivity can produce huge revenue benefits such as aviation fuel savings. In order to realize these potential profits, industry has to adopt and adjust to the Industrial Internet of Things. However, spotting, identifying, and then strategically targeting the opportunities of the IIoT is not quite as easy as it might seem. It is important, therefore, to create use-cases that are appropriate to vertical businesses. For instance, the requirements of manufacturing differ from logistics, which also differs to healthcare....
