[Product Information]
There's a great deal of excitement surrounding the use of Linux in
embedded systems -- for everything from cell phones to car ABS
systems and water-filtration plants -- but not a lot of practical
information. Building Embedded Linux Systems offers an in-depth,
hard-core guide to putting together embedded systems based on
Linux. Updated for the latest version of the Linux kernel, this
new edition gives you the basics of building embedded Linux
systems, along with the configuration, setup, and use of more than
40 different open source and free software packages in common use.
The book also looks at the strengths and weaknesses of using Linux
in an embedded system, plus a discussion of licensing issues, and
an introduction to real-time, with a discussion of real-time
options for Linux. This indispensable book features arcane and
previously undocumented procedures for:
--Building your own GNU development toolchain
--Using an efficient embedded development framework
--Selecting, configuring, building, and installing a target-
specific kernel
--Creating a complete target root filesystem
--Setting up, manipulating, and using solid-state storage devices
--Installing and configuring a bootloader for the target
--Cross-compiling a slew of utilities and packages
--Debugging your embedded system using a plethora of tools and
techniques
--Using the uClibc, BusyBox, U-Boot, OpenSSH, thttpd, tftp,
strace, and gdb packages By presenting how to build the
operating system components from pristine sources and how to find
more documentation or help, Building Embedded Linux Systems greatly
simplifies the task of keeping complete control over your embedded
operating system.
