Book Summary:
Comprehensive Real-World Guidance for Every Embedded Developer and Engineer
This book brings together indispensable knowledge for building efficient, high-value, Linux-based
embedded products: information that has never been assembled in one place before. Drawing on years
of experience as an embedded Linux consultant and field application engineer, Christopher Hallinan
offers solutions for the specific technical issues youâre most likely to face, demonstrates how
to build an effective embedded Linux environment, and shows how to use it as productively as
possible.
Hallinan begins by touring a typical Linux-based embedded system, introducing key concepts and
components, and calling attention to differences between Linux and traditional embedded
environments. Writing from the embedded developerâs viewpoint, he thoroughly addresses issues
ranging from kernel building and initialization to bootloaders, device drivers to file systems.
Hallinan thoroughly covers the increasingly popular BusyBox utilities; presents a step-by-step
walkthrough of porting Linux to custom boards; and introduces real-time configuration via
CONFIG_RT--one of todayâs most exciting developments in embedded Linux. Youâll find especially
detailed coverage of using development tools to analyze and debug embedded systems--including the
art of kernel debugging. Â
