Linux is becoming the OS of choice for embedded system designers and engineers, due to its real-time power and flexibility. This book/CD package introduces the essentials of the device driver and embedded system design process, including network printers, data acquisition systems, entrance security systems, and other general applications. It also addresses the growing need to integrate the Internet into all aspects of the design process. This approach is covered through examples that teach programmers how to incorporate Internet-related Web and database technology seamlessly with Linux inter-process communication facilities. These key technologies are covered throughout the book with real-world tutorials that teach programmers how to develop their own embedded applications.
