Embedded Linux Primer: Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development

Autor Christopher Hallinan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 oct 2010
Product manufacturers are increasingly turning to embedded Linux - and thousands of software and firmware engineers must now master it for the first time. Embedded Linux Primer has become their #1 resource. Christopher Hallinan offers practical solutions for the real-world challenges embedded developers face - whether they are experienced legacy embedded systems developers moving to Linux or experienced Linux developers moving to embedded systems. Hallinan introduces Linux in embedded environments, covers all major systems and development issues, and offers dozens of valuable tips, tools and problem-solving techniques. His extensive code examples have been assembled from operational hardware running current versions of embedded Linux using the latest development and debugging tools. This book's wide-ranging, practical coverage includes: Linux kernel initialization; the special role of bootloaders and U-Boot in embedded Linux; the use of embedded Linux file systems, including JFFS2; building Flash-resident file systems; using the Memory Technology Devices (MTD) subsystem with today's popular flash memory devices; and much more. This Second Edition has been updated for the latest kernel versions, and contains new chapters on the PCI Subsystem, Hotplug and UDEV, USB, and Reducing Boot Time. Readers will also find a detailed introduction to multi-core, one of the hottest trends in embedded computing.
  • Helps programmers rapidly climb the learning curve, maximize productivity, and handle today's most important development challenges
  • Contains new chapters on PCI Subsystem, Hotplug and UDEV, USB, and reducing boot time
  • Offers practical coverage of Flash-resident filesystem images, the Memory Technology Devices subsystem, and today's hot new multicore processors

Up-to-the-Minute, Complete Guidance for Developing Embedded Solutions with Linux
 
Linux has outstripped all competitors as today’s #1 operating system for embedded products. Christopher Hallinan’s Embedded Linux Primer has proven itself as the definitive real-world guide to building efficient, high-value, embedded systems with Linux. Now, Hallinan has thoroughly updated this highly praised book for the newest Linux kernels, capabilities, tools, and hardware support, including advanced multicore processors.
 
Drawing on years of experience as a consultant and field application engineer, Hallinan helps you rapidly climb the learning curve, whether you’re moving from legacy environments or you’re new to embedded programming. Hallinan addresses today’s most important development challenges, and demonstrates how to solve the problems you’re most likely to encounter.
 
You’ll learn how to build a modern, efficient embedded Linux development environment, and then utilize it as productively as possible. Hallinan offers up-to-date guidance on everything from kernel configuration and initialization to bootloaders, device drivers to file systems, and BusyBox utilities to real-time configuration and system analysis. This edition adds entirely new chapters on UDEV, USB, and open source build systems. Throughout, Hallinan presents extensive downloadable code examples–all assembled from operational hardware running the latest versions of embedded Linux.
 
·    Tour the typical embedded system and development environment, and understand its concepts and components.
·    Compare the standalone and integrated processors that Linux now supports.
·    Understand the Linux kernel and userspace initialization processes.
·    Walk through bootloading, with specific emphasis on Das U-Boot, the most popular Linux bootloader for embedded systems.
·    Understand Linux device driver concepts, architecture, and licensing, and the role device drivers play in virtual memory operating systems.
·    Choose the right Linux file system for your application.
·    Use the Memory Technology Devices (MTD) subsystem to interface with flash (and other) memory devices.
·    Make the most of BusyBox, the Linux embedded development environment, and the latest open source development tools.
·    Expanded and updated coverage of kernel debugging.
·    Build and analyze real-time systems with Linux.
·    Learn to configure device files and driver loading with UDEV.
·    Detailed coverage of the USB subsystem
·    Introduction to the latest open source embedded Linux build systems in use today
·    Reference appendices include U-Boot and BusyBox commands, SDRAM interface considerations, sample BDI-2000 configuration file, and more.
