Build, customize, and deploy Linux-based embedded systems with confidence using Yocto, bootloaders, and build toolsKey FeaturesMaster build systems, toolchains, and kernel integration for embedded LinuxSet up custom Linux distros with Yocto and manage board-specific configurationsLearn real-world debugging, memory handling, and system performance tuningBook DescriptionIf you’re looking for a book that will demystify embedded Linux, then you’ve come to the right place. Mastering Embedded Linux Programming is a fully comprehensive guide that can serve both as means to learn new things or as a handy reference.The first few chapters of this book will break down the fundamental elements that underpin all embedded Linux projects: the toolchain, the bootloader, the kernel, and the root filesystem. After that, you will learn how to create each of these elements from scratch and automate the process using Buildroot and the Yocto Project. As you progress, the book will show you how to implement an effective storage strategy for flash memory chips and install updates to a device remotely once it’s deployed.You’ll also learn about the key aspects of writing code for embedded Linux, such as how to access hardware from apps, the implications of writing multi-threaded code, and techniques to manage memory in an efficient way. The final chapters demonstrate how to debug your code, whether it resides in apps or in the Linux kernel itself.You’ll also cover the different tracers and profilers that are available for Linux so that you can quickly pinpoint any performance bottlenecks in your system.By the end of this Linux book, you’ll be able to create efficient and secure embedded devices using Linux.What you will learnUse Buildroot and the Yocto Project to create embedded Linux systemsTroubleshoot BitBake build failures and streamline your Yocto development workflowUpdate IoT devices securely in the field using Mender or balenaPrototype peripheral additions by reading schematics, modifying device trees, soldering breakout boards, and probing pins with a logic analyzerInteract with hardware without having to write kernel device driversDivide your system up into services supervised by BusyBox runitDebug devices remotely using GDB and measure the performance of systems using tools such as perf, ftrace, eBPF, and CallgrindWho this book is forIf you’re a systems software engineer or system administrator who wants to learn how to implement Linux on embedded devices, then this book is for you. It's also aimed at embedded systems engineers accustomed to programming for low-power microcontrollers, who can use this book to help make the leap to high-speed systems on chips that can run Linux. Anyone who develops hardware that needs to run Linux will find something useful in this book – but before you get started, you'll need a solid grasp on POSIX standard, C programming, and shell scripting.

Written by Frank Vasquez, an embedded Linux expert, this new edition enables you to harness the full potential of Linux to create versatile and robust embedded solutionsAll formats include a free PDF and an invitation to the Embedded System Professionals communityFree with your book: DRM-free PDF version + access to Packt's next-gen Reader*Key FeaturesLearn how to develop and configure reliable embedded Linux devicesDiscover the latest enhancements in Linux 6.6 and the Yocto Project 5.0, codename ScarthgapExplore different ways to debug and profile your code in both user space and the Linux kernelPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionMastering Embedded Linux Development is designed to be both a learning resource and a reference for your embedded Linux projects.In this fourth edition, you'll learn the fundamental elements that underpin all embedded Linux projects: the toolchain, the bootloader, the kernel, and the root filesystem. First, you will download and install a pre-built toolchain. After that, you will cross-compile each of the remaining three elements from scratch and learn to automate the process using Buildroot and the Yocto Project. The book progresses with coverage of over-the-air software updates and rapid prototyping with add-on boards. Two new chapters tackle modern development practices, including Python packaging and deploying containerized applications. These are followed by a chapter on writing multithreaded code and another on techniques to manage memory efficiently. The final chapters demonstrate how to debug your code, whether it resides in user space or in the Linux kernel itself. In addition to GNU debugger (GDB), the book also covers the different tracers and profilers that are available for Linux so that you can quickly pinpoint any performance bottlenecks in your system.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase requiredWhat you will learnCross-compile embedded Linux images with Buildroot and YoctoEnable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity with a Yocto board support packageUpdate IoT devices securely in the field with Mender or balenaPrototype peripheral additions by connecting add-on boards, reading schematics, and coding test programsDeploy containerized software applications on edge devices with DockerDebug devices remotely using GDB and measure the performance of systems using tools like perf and plyWho this book is forIf you are a systems software engineer or system administrator who wants to learn how to apply Linux to embedded devices, then this book is for you.
