My book _might_ be helpful but for your particular case I think your
goals are too fuzzy for me to recommend it.
If you want to learn the hardware design of "wireless multimedia
applications", then this is really outside a student budget. The
algorithms can, however, easily be tested using a laptop or PDA running
Linux. I can't give you a simple one-paragraph on-ramp because it's not
possible. You need to quantify your goals and then decide what skills
you'll need in order to meet those goals.

Hi,
How can I learn embedded system design by using Laptop or PDA only?Can
you give me some hints?
Thanks,
BTW, I plan to order the book writen by you. Is it helpful for a
newbie?

> Can you talk about it in details?
Sure. Here are the details:
1. EVBs for the processors and LCDs and WLAN chips are very expensive.
It's quite possible you could spend tens of thousands of dollars.
Certainly $6,000 is a good starting budget.
2. Information specific to one evaluation kit is often totally
irrelevant to a different kit.
3. Consumer equipment is cheap and standardized.
Ergo, the only options you should consider are consumer-priced articles,
which basically narrows it down to laptops or PDAs.

Dear all,
I'd like to learn embedded system development for wireless multimedia
application. What development board is better? I am a student and need
cheap and easy to use one.
Thanks,
