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 solutions

Key Features

Learn how to develop and configure reliable embedded Linux devices

Discover the latest enhancements in Linux 6.6 and the Yocto Project 5.0, codename Scarthgap

Explore different ways to debug and profile your code in both user space and the Linux kernel

Mastering Embedded Linux Development is designed to be both a learning resource and a reference for your embedded Linux projects.

This fourth edition highlights the fundamental elements that underpin all embedded Linux projects—the toolchain, the bootloader, the kernel, and the root filesystem. From downloading and installing a pre-built toolchain to cross-compiling each of the remaining three elements from scratch, this book sets up group for automating the process using Buildroot and the Yocto Project. The book covers over-the-air software updates and rapid prototyping with add-on boards.

Two new chapters focus on modern development practices, including Python packaging and deploying containerized applications, followed by a chapter on writing multithreaded code and another on techniques to manage memory efficiently. The final chapters show you 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.

By the end of this book, you will be able to create efficient and secure embedded devices with
