Product Description
Linux is becoming the OS of choice for embedded system designers and engineers, due to its real-time power and flexibility. Written for engineers and students, Practical Linux Programming: Device Drivers, Embedded Systems, and the Internet 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. The examples demonstrate the guidelines for designing an embedded system that requires interaction of different software modules and show how an operating system like Linux helps glue your software modules together. The book is presented as a tutorial for students and engineers who wish to learn the process of designing an embedded system application using Linux as the real-time operating system and the Internet as the user interface.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Useful as a project book to be used alongside other books., December 7, 2004 By  Book Reader "JRR" (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews * Update to my reveiw: This book is now out of date. I hope the author will write an updated new edition. * This book will be useful to you as a beginner lab book for Linux. There are a few typos and the material is becoming outdated. But that is the nature of Linux in that anything written will soon be out of date by the time it is published. One of the things I've noticed is that a lot of people can install Linux on their home systems, but then don't know what to do with it once it is there. This book can be usefully used as a lab book that gives you projects to work on and working though the typos and out dated material gives you a more in depth understanding of how Linux and the related tools work. It is the problem solving ability that will help you the most. (I have never seen a computer book that was completely up to date, error free, and completely told me the steps to do what I wanted to do.) I recommend this book as a lab book to be used along with other books to demonstrate the multiple uses and capabilities of a Linux system. So bottom line is: If you are looking for an unchallenging step by step cook book, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a challenging lab book at the beginner level that shows you an overview of Linux systems and related tools work and that will develop your problem solving abilities, then you will find this book interesting.
