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 you're 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 developer's 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 today's most exciting developments in embedded Linux. You'll find especially
detailed coverage of using development tools to analyze and debug embedded systems--including
the art of kernel debugging.
Compare leading embedded Linux processors
Understand the details of the Linux kernel initialization process
Learn about the special role of bootloaders in embedded Linux systems, with specific emphasis
on U-Boot
Use embedded Linux file systems, including JFFS2--with detailed guidelines for building Flash-
resident file system images
Understand the Memory Technology Devices subsystem for flash (and other) memory devices
Master gdb, KGDB, and hardware JTAG debugging
Learn many tips and techniques for debugging within the Linux kernel
