《Building Embedded Linux System》Notes

Until last week, I finished reading the book - Building Embedded Linux System, and below is what i want to say. This article is just a reading note for review in a future time.

Currently, i still have no real idea about embedded linux development, and still in a learning step. From the book - Building embedded linux system, i see the knowledge and deep technology of the author, who also is the maintainer of linux trace module.

Embeded development, firstly we have to be farmilary and try to know the features about the board and processor, at least read all the manual for one time. The main contents for embedded software development are:

• build for clear workspace directory for easily be understood and reviewed.
• bootloader choose and modification (u-boot for arm).
• kernel tailor and driver module choose (make menuconfig).
• root filesystem tailor, using busybox, and some other cross-compiled opensource system applications.
• serial port or net tools for easily debug.

There are much more information in the book, and i will update this article after much more practice.
