An Introduction to Embedded Linux Development, Part 1 (Linux Journal)

Linux Journal examines embedded development with Linux. "Linux, available for many architectures, is an obvious candidate for an embedded system, and it already is being used widely in this area. Its open nature makes it particularly attractive to developers. Development tool suites have begun to appear in response to the perceived need, although one can work without such luxury and employ less integrated tools already available in Linux. New embedded systems companies using Linux have opened for business, and various older embedded systems companies have added Linux to their product line."

If one wants to cross-compile something more demanding than just command
line stuff[1], then http://www.scratchbox.org/ might be useful. If one
wants information in general on how to compile stuff from scratch, then
there's of course the infamous http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/.

[1] Cross-compiling something like http://www.busybox.net/ is a breeze
because it's especially made to be easily cross-compilable and to offer
about all the basic command line stuff you're ever going to need.
