Product Description

Review

"The lessons learnt using this book alongside systems such as the IPAQ will certainly pay off." - Martin Howse, LinuxUser & Developer, issue 31 "This book should be essential reading for embedded system designers at all levels of experience who intend to use Linux in current or future projects. The only other thing you need is an internet connection to download the source code of components that are used." Industrial Networking & Open Control, June 2003

Product Description

Linux(R) is being adopted by an increasing number of embedded systems developers, who have been won over by its sophisticated scheduling and networking, its cost-free license, its open development model, and the support offered by rich and powerful programming tools. While there is a great deal of hype surrounding the use of Linux in embedded systems, there is not a lot of practical information. "Building Embedded Linux Systems" is the first in-depth, hard-core guide to putting together an embedded system based on the Linux kernel. 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

Details are provided for various target architectures and hardware configurations, including a thorough review of Linux's support for embedded hardware. All explanations rely on the use of open source and free software packages. By presenting how to build the operating system components from pristine sources and how to find more documentation or help, this book greatly simplifies the task of keeping complete control over one's embedded operating system, whether it be for technical or sound financial reasons.

Author Karim Yaghmour, a well-known designer and speaker who is responsible for the Linux TraceToolkit, starts by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of Linux as an embedded operating system. Licensing issues are included, followed by a discussion of the basics of building embedded Linux systems. The configuration, setup, and use of over forty different open source and free software packages commonly used in embedded Linux systems are also covered. uClibc, BusyBox, U-Boot, OpenSSH, thttpd, tftp, strace, and gdb are among the packages discussed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Building Embedded LINUX Systems (review), May 2 2004

By	Warrick Lacey (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

I am (and have been since October) in the midst of new hardware bring up. I am not a LINUX novice but performing a kernel bring up -- well let's just say I assembled a number of books in preparation of the project.

Forturnately for me, this book was one I selected.

I found the text to be be thorough (w/plenty of references to other texts, also by O'Reilly) starting with the general and moving on to specifics.

I like the order of the presentations. Often times I find the next chapter the next task confronting me.

Good Job Mr. Yaghmour!!!

You saved me a lot of pain.

Well worth the money.
Warrick Lacey

5.0 out of 5 stars A Practical book, Sep 9 2003

By	Arun Kalluri (Hillsboro, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews

This book is a good starting point for people to understand the work of embedded linux engineers in the real world. It is also a great book for experienced people in the industry as they can collect various pieces of missing information. I just wish I had this book two years back when I learnt all this stuff the hardway through pieces of information on web. Technology changes fast, but the stuff mentioned in the book is still up to date in the industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference for building or using embedded Linux, Aug 29 2003

By	J. Frederick "Jim Fred" (Temecula, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even if you already have development tools, this text is helpful for administering an embedded Linux device, or for locating applications/daemons to run on an embedd Linux device. This text deals with different architectures, like ARM etc.
