Linux for embedded and real-time applications / Doug Abbott.

By: Abbott, Doug, 1944- [author.].
USA : Newnes, ©2013 ©2013Edition: Third edition.Description: xix, 274 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.ISBN: 9780124159969 (pbk.) :; 0124159966 (pbk.) :.Subject(s): Linux | Operating systems (Computers) | Embedded computer systems -- ProgrammingDDC classification: 005.432/Ab26 Summary: The open source nature of Linux has always intrigued embedded engineers, and the latest kernel releases have provided new features enabling more robust functionality for embedded applications. Enhanced real-time performance, easier porting to new architectures, support for microcontrollers and an improved I/O system give embedded engineers even more reasons to love Linux! However, the rapid evolution of the Linux world can result in an eternal search for new information sources that will help embedded programmers to keep up!This completely updated second edition of noted author Doug Abbott This new edition of Linux for Embedded and Real-Time Applications provides a practical introduction to the basics and the latest developments in this rapidly evolving technology. Ideal for those new to using Linux in an embedded environment, it takes a hands-on approach and covers key concepts plus specific applications. Key features include: Substantially updated to focus on a specific ARM-based single board computer (SBC) as a target for embedded application programming Includes an introduction to Android programming With this book you will learn: The basics of Open Source, Linux and the embedded space How to set up a simple system and tool chain How to use simulation for initial application testing Network, graphics and Android programming How to use some of the many Linux components and tools How to configure and build the Linux kernel, BusyBox and U-Boot bootloader Provides a hands-on introduction for engineers and software developers who need to get up to speed quickly on embedded Linux, its operation and its capabilities - including Android Updated and changed accompanying tools, with a focus on the author's specially-developed Embedded Linux Learning Kit
