About this book

Today, Linux is included with nearly every embedded platform. Embedded developers can take a more modern route and spend more time tuning Linux and taking advantage of open source code to build more robust, feature-rich applications. While Gene Sally does not neglect porting Linux to new hardware, modern embedded hardware is more sophisticated than ever: most systems include the capabilities found on desktop systems. This book is written from the perspective of a user employing technologies and techniques typically reserved for desktop systems.

  • Modern guide for developing embedded Linux systems
  • Shows you how to work with existing Linux embedded system, while still teaching how to port Linux
  • Explains best practices from somebody who has done it before

About the author

Gene Sally has been working with computers ever since his awkward teenage years. For the past eight or so years, Gene has been employed as an engineer, technical writer, trainer and expert tinkerer with Linux in an embedded environment.
