Subjects
Based upon the authors' experience in designing and deploying an embedded Linux system with a variety of applications, Embedded Linux System Design and Development contains a full embedded Linux system development roadmap for systems architects and software programmers. Explaining the issues that arise out of the use of Linux in embedded systems, the book facilitates movement to embedded Linux from traditional real-time operating systems, and describes the system design model containing embedded Linux.This book delivers practical solutions for writing, debugging, and profiling applications and drivers in embedded Linux, and for understanding Linux BSP architecture. It enables you to understand: various drivers such as serial, I2C and USB gadgets; uClinux architecture and its programming model; and the embedded Linux graphics subsystem. The text also promotes learning of methods to reduce system boot time, optimize memory and storage, and find memory leaks and corruption in applications.This volume benefits IT managers in planning to choose an embedded Linux distribution and in creating a roadmap for OS transition. It also describes the application of the Linux licensing model in commercial products.

Embedded Linux System Design and Development
P. Raghavan, Amol Lad and Sriram Neelakandan, Auerbach Publication, ISBN: 0849340586 Embedded Linux System Design and Development explains an entire development roadmap for embedded Linux systems. This book facilitates movement to embedded Linux from a traditional RTOS and explains the system design model with embedded Linux that involve the BSP, embedded storage, real-time programming and graphics. It also explains the design and concepts behind embedded Linux variants such as RTAI and ucLinux. It offers solutions to typical problems faced by embedded Linux developers including power management, system boot up time, memory leaks, debugging and profiling. Illustrated with examples for both 2.6 and 2.4 kernels, this book is ideal for systems architects, programmers and managers.
