This book covers the development and implementation of interfacing applications on an embedded Linux platform, offering a series of real- world interfacing examples designed to introduce embedded Linux from hardware and software perspectives. Readers will learn to create an embedded Linux development environment and walk through hardware and software interfacing examples using asynchronous serial communication, the PC parallel port, USB, synchronous serial communication, and interrupts. Material is presented in the context of an ongoing example. The book is of interest to hardware and software developers, system integrators, and product managers. Hollabaugh is a consultant.
