Mastering Embedded Linux Development. Craft fast and reliable embedded solutions with Linux 6.6 and The Yocto Project 5.0 (Scarthgap) - Fourth Edition Orzesze

Mastering Embedded Linux Development is designed to be both a learning resource and a reference for your embedded Linux projects.In this fourth edition, youll learn the fundamental elements that underpin all embedded Linux projects: the toolchain, the bootloader, the kernel, and the root filesystem. First, you will download and install a pre-built toolchain. After that, you will cross-compile each of the remaining three elements from scratch and learn to automate the process using Buildroot and the Yocto Project. The book progresses with coverage of over-the-air software updates and rapid prototyping with add-on boards. Two new chapters tackle modern development practices, including Python packaging and deploying containerized applications. These are followed by a chapter on writing multithreaded code and another on techniques to manage memory efficiently. The final chapters demonstrate how to debug your code, whether it resides in user space or in the Linux kernel itself. In addition to GNU debugger (GDB), the book also covers the different tracers and profilers that are available for Linux so that you can quickly pinpoint any performance bottlenecks in your system.By the end of this book, you will be able to create efficient and secure embedded devices with Linux that will delight your users.
