Features: Focusing on the currently popular 32-bit ARM processors and the source-opened Linux operating system, this book explains the concepts of embedded systems, the composition of hardware and software, the development process, as well as the design methods for embedded Linux applications and drivers. The book consists of 9 chapters, covering both hardware-related content such as embedded system fundamentals, ARM architecture, and ARM core embedded system chips, and software-related content including embedded Linux, applications, drivers, and graphical user interfaces. It concludes by introducing the self-developed lightweight graphical user interface lwGUI, providing examples of embedded Linux development. The book's features include content that has been tested in actual teaching, with programs derived from students' graduation projects and course experiments, making it not limited to a specific ARM core chip. It is suitable for single-chip microcontroller developers without prior knowledge of operating systems to learn embedded systems, and can serve as a textbook for the theoretical part of embedded system courses or a reference book for learning embedded Linux.
