Embedded Linux: Hardware, Software, and Interfacing

Buy

Embedded Linux covers the development and implementation of interfacing applications on an embedded Linux platform. It includes a comprehensive discussion of platform selection, crosscompilation, kernel compilation, root filesystem creation, booting, remote debugging, real-world interfacing, application control, data collection, archiving, and presentation.

This book includes serial, parallel, memory I/O, USB, and interrupt-driven hardware designs using x86-, StrongARM®-, and PowerPC®-based target boards. In addition, you will find simple device driver module code that connects external devices to the kernel, and network integration code that connects embedded Linux field devices to a centralized control center. Examples teach hardware developers how to store and activate field bits and deliver process information using open source software. If you are a hardware developer, software developer, system integrator, or product manager who's begun exploring embedded Linux for interfacing applications, this book is for you.

  • Select an embedded Linux platform (x86, StrongARM®, and PowerPC® architectures are covered)
  • Create a cross-compiling and debugging development environment
  • Build a custom Linux kernel for each architecture
  • Create a minimum root filesystem
  • Boot the custom Linux kernel on three target boards with x86, SA-1110, and MPC860 microprocessors
  • Remote debug programs running on a target board across an ethernet network using GNU tools
  • Connect data acquisition and control electronics/peripherals using the microprocessor's serial, parallel, memory I/O, and USB interfaces
  • Measure average interrupt latencies for the x86, SA-1110, and MPC860 microprocessors and design an interrupt-driven process timer with 1mS accuracy
  • Interface the peripherals to the kernel and applications using device driver modules
  • Collect, control, store, and present data via open source protocols and applications
  • Analyze embedded Linux vendor product offerings
About the Author

Craig Hollabaugh, Ph.D., first administered Sun® and Digital® workstations while pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His first embedded design, US Patent #5,222,027, remotely monitors a petroleum process. In 1995, at Wireless Scientific®, he began using Linux for industrial control.

Craig currently consults for three companies from his home in Ouray, Colorado. He developed the Proteus Scalable Node code for Antec. At Clifton, Weiss and Associates, he's a member of a carrier-class telecommunications network design team. He's also designing FM, MP3, and Bluetooth headset electronics for Arriva®.

A Companion of Feminisms for Digital Design and Spherology
A Companion of Feminisms for Digital Design and Spherology
This book questions if spherology is a philosophy for designers, giving guidance on ways to read Spheres, how to approach the trilogy’s indexicality, and apply the key tropes and ethics of atmospheres to digital design. Each chapter includes a design-in, that is a practical entry point into the...
Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell)
Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell)

When Microsoft made Visual Basic into an object-oriented programming language, millions of VB developers resisted the change to the .NET platform. Now, after integrating feedback from their customers and creating Visual Basic 2005, Microsoft finally has the right carrot. Visual Basic 2005 offers the power of the .NET...

Introduction to Machine Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)
Introduction to Machine Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)
The goal of machine learning is to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem. Many successful applications of machine learning exist already, including systems that analyze past sales data to predict customer behavior, recognize faces or spoken speech, optimize robot behavior so that a task can be completed...

Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Relationale Datenbanksysteme sind in den letzten Jahren mit Abstand die wichtigsten Datenbanksysteme geworden, die in der Praxis angewendet werden. Die Gründe dafür sind mannigfaltig: die hohe Portierbarkeit der Anwendungen, die Verwendung der Standarddatenbanksprache SQL usw. Eines der herausragendsten relationalen Datenbanksysteme...
Discrete Mathematics With Algorithms
Discrete Mathematics With Algorithms
This first-year course in discrete mathematics requires no calculus or computer programming experience. The approach stresses finding efficient algorithms, rather than existential results. Provides an introduction to constructing proofs (especially by induction), and an introduction to algorithmic problem-solving. All algorithms are presented in...
