Building Embedded Linux Systems
by Karim Yaghmour
Most books on Embedded Linux rely on the use of pre-packaged development tools or cover only one very precise aspect of running Linux on an embedded target. In contrast, Yaghmour's book shows readers how to design and build their own embedded systems based on using Linux as the kernel, along with freely available open source tools as the framework. | |
Linux for Embedded and Real-Time Applications, Second Edition
by Doug Abbott
This new edition of Doug Abbott's solid introduction to embedded Linux still provides a reader-friendly overview, together with updates that significantly bolster coverage of the basics. Completely revised to reflect the 2.6 series kernel, the second edition adds 100 pages of new material, including new chapters on uCLinux and the Eclipse IDE. | |

Embedded Linux
by John Lombardo
This book is intended for designers of embedded systems and information appliances, as well as for general Linux programmers. It describes in great detail how to marry your tiny Linux distribution to the hardware to a do-it-yourself MP3 player. With specific suggestions on how to build the smallest possible Linux system and advice on choosing the right hardware for your ultimate goal (better, faster, or cheaper), this book teaches you how to build your first embedded device. | |
The Linux TCP/IP Stack: Networking for Embedded Systems
by Thomas Herbert
This book provides a detailed guide to implementing and using the Linux TCP/IP stack in embedded systems projects. It begins with a general overview of TCP/IP networking, with background information on applicable networking standards. After the basics are covered, the book takes programmers on a detailed tour of TCP/IP implementation in Linux and TCP/IP sources by following a packet of data as it flows through the stack from the sending system, out the wire, and back through the input side of the stack in the receiving machine. | |
Hacking the TiVo
by William von Hagen
This book provides a central, readable, and detailed guide to upgrading, maintaining, and enhancing TiVo systems. Included are detailed operating system and hardware upgrade information for more experienced users who are comfortable working with system software and operating systems. The book explains how to obtain the operating system source code, how to build and enhance the operating system, and how to log in on and use the TiVo as a computer system. | |
Practical Linux Programming: Device Drivers, Embedded systems, and the Internet
by Ashfaq A. Khan
Written for engineers and students, this book is about designing and developing embedded systems using Internet technology as a user interface. The book emphasizes the use of three different technologies for embedded system design and development: the Web, the Linux kernel, and SQL queries. From a software design point of view, device driver design, interprocess communication usage, Perl programming, shell programming, HTML tags, and SQL queries are covered in detail. - Read a (rather critical) review by Marty Leisner of this book here.
