Linux in embedded systems

LINUX IN EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

The demand for Linux in embedded devices has been rapidly growing over the last years, making Linux the primary OS for new embedded development. The website shows how to configure and build a small Linux kernel and how to create a Debian root file system for your target.

The website is for embedded engineers who are new to embedded Linux.

As the target boards I use the Olimex CS-E9302 development board with Cirrus Logic EP9302 processor and the EM2440/MINI2440 board with Samsung S3C2440 processor.
