Embedded Linux Essentials Handbook
By :
With the recent massive increase in processor density, embedded Linux is becoming an increasingly popular operating system (OS) for embedded systems. Silicon vendors have recognized this increased popularity and provide reference implementations of embedded Linux to run on their hardware.
Embedded Linux offers a paradigm different from those that traditional embedded software engineers are accustomed to, such as bare-metal development or using a real-time operating system (RTOS). Traditional embedded software development usually involves 2–3 steps to allow an embedded software engineer to get up and going. Typically, they connect a debugger to their board, write embedded software in an IDE provided by the silicon vendor, and use a debugger to flash and debug their application. However, the development workflow when working with an embedded Linux system is usually more complicated.
In this chapter, we will...
