Embedded Linux Essentials Handbook

By: Mohammed Billoo

Overview of this book

Embedded Linux now powers everything from IoT devices to industrial systems, making it essential for embedded software engineers to be skilled at customizing, deploying, and developing for these platforms. This hands-on guide walks you through the core concepts of Embedded Linux using practical, real-world examples on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. For those without access to hardware, it also demonstrates how to simulate embedded Linux systems using QEMU. This book contains code samples that you can follow along and build three real-world projects: a Python web-based dashboard that retrieves and displays data from a temperature sensor and two GUI applications demonstrating how to use the Qt framework on Embedded Linux using two different development paradigms. You’ll also step into advanced territory with Linux kernel debugging techniques and discover how to harness eBPF, building the experience employers want and the confidence to tackle complex embedded challenges. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid grasp of Embedded Linux development and the skills to build and deploy production-ready, modern embedded applications.

Exploring Embedded Linux’s Architecture and Its Use Cases

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...
