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fairly old versions of the kernel, there are still developments and applications that will eventually render this book outdated, hopefully these will be addressed in the new edition due this autumn.

That said, this book can be thought of as a well researched digest of the hits that you would find on google. All facets of embedded system development are discussed, as are potential target platforms. The reader is even encouraged (and shown how!) to "home brew" and embedded system.

This make book makes a good reference and "cook book" for different approaches, and will be a wonderful aid to anyone starting to develop embedded Linux systems.

I feel that embedded engineers who are new to Linux will find more kernel-specific works to be a better starting point, but once they have that familiarity they will find this book to be invaluable.

quite useful

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 embedded linux starting point
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
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 !

Brilliant

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.


Superb
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
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.

It covers the basics like how to setup terminal emulators on the host, and provides information on the host/target environment most suitable for your project. It demonstrates how to configure the tool chain and how to configure the kernel. It also deals with some deployment issues such as storage and the root file system and has a great section on bootloaders as well. The section on using performance analysis tools and measuring interrupt latency is very valuable as well.

If you know linux well this book will probably teach you very little, but if like me you know embedded systems but are new to linux you'll love it.

Complements Linux Device Drivers by Rubini & Corbet very well. I wish I'd had this book a year ago, I'd have more hair today.
