Résumé

Fully describes the use of Linux operating system for embedded and real-time applications·
Covers advanced topics such as device drivers, kernel implementation, POSIX threads·
The CD accompanying the book includes an electronic version of the book as well as related software tools and code listings

In this applications-oriented reference, Doug Abbott shows how to put Linux to work in embedded and real-time applications. Among the topics Abbott discusses include memory management, device drivers, interrupt handling, kernel instrumentation, boatloaders, embedded networking, inter-task communications, periodic vs. "one shot" timing, POSIX threads, hardware abstraction layers, and program debugging.
Abbott uses numerous real-world examples to show how implement a variety of embedded applications using Linux. Abbott discusses the strengths and weaknesses for embedded applications of different implementations of Linux, and he also examines the different real-time extensions for Linux. This book incorporates many programming exercises with solutions.
All code listings are provided on the accompanying CD-ROM, as well as an electronic version of the text.
