  • This book has been up to date to include Linux 4.9 and Yocto Project 2.2 (Morty)
  • This comprehensive guide covers the remote update of devices in the field and power management

Book Description

Embedded Linux runs among the devices we use on a daily basis, from smart TVs to WiFi routers, test equipment to industrial controllers – all of them have Linux at their heart. Linux is a core technology in the implementation of the inter-connected world of the Internet of Things.

The comprehensive guide shows you the technologies and techniques required to build Linux into embedded systems. You’ll begin by learning about the fundamental elements that underpin all embedded Linux projects: the toolchain, the bootloader, the kernel, and the root filesystem. You can see how to create each of these elements from scratch, and how to automate the process the usage of Buildroot and the Yocto Project.

Moving on, You can learn the way to implement an effective storage strategy for flash memory chips, and how to install updates to the device remotely once it is deployed. You can also get to know the key aspects of writing code for embedded Linux, such as how to access hardware from applications, the implications of writing multi-threaded code, and techniques to manage memory in an efficient way. The final chapters show you how to debug your code, both in applications and in the Linux kernel, and how to profile the system to be able to look out for performance bottlenecks.

By the end of the book, You’ll have a complete overview of the steps required to create a successful embedded Linux system.

What You’ll learn

  • Evaluate the Board Enhance Packages offered by most manufacturers of a system on chip or embedded module
  • Use Buildroot and the Yocto Project to create embedded Linux systems quickly and efficiently
  • Update IoT devices in the field without compromising security
  • Reduce the power budget of devices to make batteries last longer
  • Interact with the hardware with no need to write kernel device drivers
  • Debug devices remotely the usage of GDB, and see how to measure the performance of the systems the usage of powerful tools such as perk, ftrace, and valgrind
  • Find out how to configure Linux as a real-time operating system
