Valuable resource
Review written by: A. Pietsch From Del Mar, CA United States
From a colleague: "Embedded Linux Primer has already provided me with valuable information. It is very practical and with the right level of information. I haven't read all of it yet but I am sure it will be a great help." She's working on an embbeded controller for automated process sequencing with a web server acting as the user interface.

About the best book on embedded linux
Review written by: J. Meyer From
I am just a newbie to the embedded linux world. Of all the books I have seen this book was the best overview as well as technical reference. It is well organized so that someone new to embedded linux will not get overwhelmed but it is also a good overall reference. It goes over all of the different bootloaders, target devices, file systems, busybox, etc. I would NOT recommend it to a reader without some background with linux. The whole embedded linux development moves very quickly so there may be need for new edition soon. It is a must buy if you are interested in learning embedded linux.

Excellent Book
Review written by: Jorge Reyes From Mexico, Mexico DF Mexico
This book is excellent to construct embedded software using Linux. This book explain all the process involved in embedded devices (toolchain, bsp, bootloader, cross-compilation, etc). This book is not inteded as entry book, you must have experience with Linux, C, compilers, etc. There are plenty lines of code an examples therefore is a practical book but you need to work on it

This book is a professional one, therefore this book can carry you to get real embedded linux appliances.

A great book on the subject
Review written by: Jeff Smith From lake worth FL
I confirm all that has been said.

It is the first source I have found that explains building the linux kernel in a way that makes it easy to understand. While you might be able to find this information on the net, this makes it easy to get an overall view of what is going on.

It is easy to read, and has great references. Well worth the price.

Really heapful
Review written by: T. Yao From San Jose, CA
For those engineers who start their first embedded Linux project, this book is a must have. The book is not for those who want to understand how kernel runs but it gives you the most important concept and work flow to bring up the OS on your development board. The author also provides a useful further reading list in case you want to dig more. A very practical and clearly written book and I would recommend it to those who have solid experience in embedded development but just start to explore in Linux.
