Reader Reviews
Hallinan's book presents a balanced tour of the basic knowledge required for an embedded Linux design effort. The subject is exceedingly large and the author wisely chooses to focus on essentials such as tools, debugging, and architecture. There is less emphasis on quickly dated material such as source code tours and build instructions as is found in other texts. This book will add to your knowledge... not just your script library. Two attributes of this text are notable: a) This is the only text on the market with an overview of the latest CONFIG_RT technology found in the Linux kernel. CONFIG_RT is a new way of reaching real time performance requirements that does not depend on sub-kernels or interrupt abstraction. b) The author remains true to making this a "primer". This is an ideal book to start with and lay the foundation for future learning
