Product Description

Review

"The lessons learnt using this book alongside systems such as the IPAQ will certainly pay off." - Martin Howse, LinuxUser & Developer, issue 31 "This book should be essential reading for embedded system designers at all levels of experience who intend to use Linux in current or future projects. The only other thing you need is an internet connection to download the source code of components that are used." Industrial Networking & Open Control, June 2003

Brilliant 22 Oct 2003

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

If you want to know everything about embedding Linux this is it!

I have been involved in Embedded Linux for the past three years, and often spent countless hours on the net, reading through vast amount of documents, done by the kind folks of the Linux commmunity.

Karim has done a splendid job, pulling together everything you need to know, to embed Linux on a varaiety of architectures, and walks you through in simple, easy to understand manner.

This book is a "must have" for anyone deploying Linux on embedded systems. Besides its a cracking read anyway, if you like to broaden your knowledge on Linux internals.

Excellent embedded linux starting point 20 Nov 2003

By Diego Serafin

Format:Paperback

The book is an excellent embedded GNU/Linux starting point: Karim drives you through almost all aspects of embedded Linux system configuration and installation giving a lot of 'pointers' to software and documentation, saving many hours of 'googling'. At the end of the book I found myself with a perfectly configured and specifically taylored GNU/Linux embedded system cross/development framework and a running target board.
Congratulation Karim !

quite useful 25 July 2004

By "philb320"

Format:Paperback

The book is interesting and fairly useful in that it confirms that what I have been doing to create cross compilers, embedded versions of Linux etc, is more or less correct. However, I was disappointed that quite a lot of the build procedures in the book simply don't work so I had to resort to hacking as normal!

Excellent book that deserves better index, contents page and reference...

Good: breadth of coverage including udev, rootfs and library alternatives (to save memory etc.)

Bad: index and contents pages make it difficult to use as quick reference... Read more

A plug from PLUG for this book

At our LUG (PLUG.fi), we have a gadget club, where we play with devices. They're not all GNU/Linux based, but we do strive to move in that direction. Read more

Very usefull, but not definitive.

Although most embedded projects are based on fairly old versions of the kernel, there are still developments and applications that will eventually render this book outdated,... Read more

Superb

The Linux operating system is fantastic, documentation and training aids on the subject are poor. This book is a great introduction to linux when used in an embedded context. Read more
