Embedded Linux covers the development and implementation of interfacing applications on an embedded Linux platform. It includes a comprehensive discussion of platform selection, cross compilation, kernel compilation, root filesystem creation, booting, remote debugging, real-world interfacing, application control, data collection, archiving, and presentation. This book includes serial, parallel, memory I/O, USB, and intrrupt-driven hardware design using x86-StrongARM-, and PowerPC-based target boards. in addition, you will find simple device driver module code that conects external devices to the kernel, and network integration code that connects embedded Linux field devices to a centralized control center. Examples teach hardware developers how to store and activate field bits and deliver process information using open source software. If you are a hardware developer, software developer, system integrator, or product manager who's begun exploring embedded linux for interfacing applications, thi book is for you.
