Building embedded Linux systems
Concepts, techniques, tricks and traps
Karim Yaghmour, Jon Masters, Gilad Ben-Yossef, Philippe Gerum - Collection Linux
Résumé
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.
L'avis du libraire Eyrolles
Building Embedded Linux Systems shows you how to design and build your own embedded systems using Linux® as the kernel and freely available open source tools as the framework. Written by an active member of the open source community, the book is structured to gradually introduce readers to the intricacies of embedded Linux, with detailed information and examples in each chapter that culminate in describing how Linux is actually put on an embedded device.
L'auteur - Karim Yaghmour
Karim Yaghmour is the founder and president of Opersys
Inc. (http://www.opersys.com), a company providing
expertise and courses on the use of open source and free
software in embedded systems. Being himself an active
member of the open source and free software community,
Karim has firmly established Opersys's services around the
core values of knowledge sharing and technical quality
promoted by this community. As part of his community
involvement, Karim is the maintainer of the Linux Trace
Toolkit and the author of a series of white-papers that led
to the implementation of the Adeos nanokernel, which allows
multiple operating systems to exist side-by-side.
Karim's quest for understanding how things work started at
a very young age when he took it upon himself to break open
all the radios and cassette players he could lay his hands
on in order to "fix" them. Very early, he developed a keen
interest in operating system internals and embedded
systems. He now holds a B.Eng. and an M.A.Sc. from the
École Polytechnique de Montréal. While everyone was hacking
away at Linux, Karim even took a detour to write his own
distributed micro-kernel in order to get to the bottom of
operating system design and implementation. When not
working on software, Karim indulges in his passion for
history, philosophy, sociology, and humanities in general.
He's especially addicted to essays and novels by Umberto
Eco and Gerald Messadié.
