.. The author, John Lombardo, covers everything you need to know about embedded Linux. Reading this book will neither feel redundant nor lack substance. So let's get started now and use this book to design and build embedded Linux devices.
Linux is an open-source operating system with a high degree of sharing. This book leverages this characteristic of the system to describe how to plan, configure, and boot embedded Linux devices from software, hardware, and the implementation of embedded Linux applications. Additionally, the book introduces the process of creating an embedded Linux workshop and lists successful cases of embedded Linux.
