Customer comments on this selection.
 Great
I am an embedded developer and a linux user/programmer/admin.
When I started joining the "embedded"+"linux" words (and worlds), I found out that I had a lot to learn from this book in both fields.
It's the best on the subject I've read up to now, really professional. The "Primer" in the title does not mean that it's for beginners: it's an advanced guide, and you need to have a background in both "Linux" and "Embedded".
I bought and read it some years ago, but sometimes I like to re-read some parts because I find it always useful and enjoyable.
Moreover, it's well written, fun and easy to read.
There are also a lot of useful references for further readings (I followed many of them!) and web documentations.
I just can say: Great!!
Linux for embedded systems is a big topic, and this book covers the most important aspects that one should take into account when programming embedded systems. There are dozens of brands, families and boards in the market, however, all of them includes almost the same elements, and this book try to explain them. Highly recommended.
Valuable resource
From a colleague: "Embedded Linux Primer has already provided me with valuable information. It is very practical and with the right level of information. I haven't read all of it yet but I am sure it will be a great help." She's working on an embbeded controller for automated process sequencing with a web server acting as the user interface.
About the best book on embedded linux
I am just a newbie to the embedded linux world. Of all the books I have seen this book was the best overview as well as technical reference. It is well organized so that someone new to embedded linux will not get overwhelmed but it is also a good overall reference. It goes over all of the different bootloaders, target devices, file systems, busybox, etc. I would NOT recommend it to a reader without some background with linux. The whole embedded linux development moves very quickly so there may be need for new edition soon. It is a must buy if you are interested in learning embedded linux.
Excellent Book
This book is excellent to construct embedded software using Linux. This book explain all the process involved in embedded devices (toolchain, bsp, bootloader, cross-compilation, etc). This book is not inteded as entry book, you must have experience with Linux, C, compilers, etc. There are plenty lines of code an examples therefore is a practical book but you need to work on it
This book is a professional one, therefore this book can carry you to get real embedded linux appliances.
