Drawing on years of experience as an embedded Linux consultant and field application engineer, Christopher Hallinan offers solutions for the specific technical issues you&rsquo;re most likely to face, demonstrates how to build an effective embedded Linux environment, and shows how to use it as productively as possible. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">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&rsquo;s viewpoint, he thoroughly addresses issues ranging from kernel building and initialization to bootloaders, device drivers to file systems.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">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&rsquo;s most exciting developments in embedded Linux. You&rsquo;ll find especially detailed coverage of using development tools to analyze and debug embedded systems--including the art of kernel debugging. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <UL> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Compare leading embedded Linux processors</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Understand the details of the Linux kernel initialization process</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Learn about the special role of bootloaders in embedded Linux systems, with specific emphasis on U-Boot</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Use embedded Linux file systems, including JFFS2--with detailed guidelines for building Flash-resident file system images</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Understand the Memory Technology Devices subsystem for flash (and other) memory devices</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Master gdb, KGDB, and hardware JTAG debugging</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Learn many tips and techniques for debugging within the Linux kernel</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Maximize your productivity in cross-development environments</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Prepare your entire development environment, including TFTP, DHCP, and NFS target servers</DIV> <LI> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Configure, build, and initialize BusyBox to support your unique requirements</DIV></LI></UL> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">About the Author</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Christopher Hallinan, field applications engineer at MontaVista software, has worked for more than 20 years in assignments ranging from engineering and engineering management to marketing and business development.
