This thesis describes the design and realization of terminal for time attendance system. The introductory part shortly presents several solutions currently available on the market. The main part of this thesis is divided into two sections. The first of them deals with design of hardware platform, and the second describes the development of software. The terminal is realized as a compact with wide possibilities for future functional expansion. Special attention is given to the flexibility and user-friendly interface.

This thesis describes the design and following fabrication and putting into service of the control system for brewhouse of home nanobrewery. Power electronics is adapted to previously purchased brewery equipment. For controller are given possibilities of using available solutions. Subsequently is made own controller design. Follows a software design for manual control of individual parts nanobrewery and automating some processes.

Diploma thesis is dealing with design and implementation of the web server and manage- ment website in the developing kit FriendlyARM Mini6410 with installed OS GNU/Linux. The embedded packaging system PTXdist is described in terms of Kernel configuration and selection of suitable applications. The device should be later used for the remote management of atmospheric optical link.

This thesis aims generally at getting positives and negatives of popular operating system Android running on development kit Tiny6410 which is a part of FriendlyARM family. The operating system and development kit are designed to be used in user multimedia embedded applications with communication features. The goal of this thesis is to take a look on this framework and to measure main parameters of the operating system, specifically to measure switching context time and time for allocation and operation of memory block. Next goal is to create user application which will control and monitor connected oscilloscope DSO-2150 by Hantek via USB interface. This application will also demonstrate positives and negatives of all programming enviroments, which are available, for user application development with consideration of their optimal use.

This thesis deals with the development problems and creating of the multi- purpose hardware platform, which supports operating system Linux. It is focused on the microprocessors using ARM architecture with architecture ARM7, ARM9 and ARM11. The scope of the first part of this thesis was searching the sales of available 32 bit ARM microprocessors. The second part is attended to a particular Mini2440 development kit, its animation and the subsequent development of the kernel drivers for OS Linux platform. One of this thesis details was also the development of my own expansive hardware module and a capacity keypad for a usage with Mini2440 developmental kit.
