An annotated guide to program and develop GNU/Linux Embedded
systems quickly About This Book * Rapidly design and build powerful
prototypes for GNU/Linux Embedded systems * Become familiar with
the workings of GNU/Linux Embedded systems and how to manage its
peripherals * Write, monitor, and configure applications quickly
and effectively, manage an external micro-controller, and use it as
co-processor for real-time tasks Who This Book Is For This book
targets Embedded System developers and GNU/Linux programmers who
would like to program Embedded Systems and perform Embedded
development. The book focuses on quick and efficient prototype
building. Some experience with hardware and Embedded Systems is
assumed, as is having done some previous work on GNU/Linux systems.
Knowledge of scripting on GNU/Linux is expected as well. What You
Will Learn * Use embedded systems to implement your projects *
Access and manage peripherals for embedded systems * Program
embedded systems using languages such as C, Python, Bash, and PHP *
Use a complete distribution, such as Debian or Ubuntu, or an
embedded one, such as OpenWrt or Yocto * Harness device driver
capabilities to optimize device communications * Access data
through several kinds of devices such as GPIO's, serial ports, PWM,
ADC, Ethernet, WiFi, audio, video, I2C, SPI, One Wire, USB and CAN
* Practical example usage of several devices such as RFID readers,
Smart card readers, barcode readers, z-Wave devices, GSM/GPRS
modems * Usage of several sensors such as light, pressure,
moisture, temperature, infrared, power, motion In Detail Embedded
computers have become very complex in the last few years and
developers need to easily manage them by focusing on how to solve a
problem without wasting time in finding supported peripherals or
learning how to manage them. The main challenge with experienced
embedded programmers and engineers is really how long it takes to
turn an idea into reality, and we show you exactly how to do it.
This book shows how to interact with external environments through
specific peripherals used in the industry. We will use the latest
Linux kernel release 4.4.x and Debian/Ubuntu distributions (with
embedded distributions like OpenWrt and Yocto). The book will
present popular boards in the industry that are user-friendly to
base the rest of the projects on - BeagleBone Black, SAMA5D3
Xplained, Wandboard and system-on-chip manufacturers. Readers will
be able to take their first steps in programming the embedded
platforms, using C, Bash, and Python/PHP languages in order to get
access to the external peripherals. More about using and
programming device driver and accessing the peripherals will be
covered to lay a strong foundation. The readers will learn how to
read/write data from/to the external environment by using both C
programs or a scripting language (Bash/PHP/Python) and how to
configure a device driver for a specific hardware. After finishing
this book, the readers will be able to gain a good knowledge level
and understanding of writing, configuring, and managing drivers,
controlling and monitoring applications with the help of
efficient/quick programming and will be able to apply these skills
into real-world projects. Style and approach This practical
tutorial will get you quickly prototyping embedded systems on
GNU/Linux. This book uses a variety of hardware to program the
peripherals and build simple prototypes.
