| Building Embedded Linux Systems |
I'm a beginner in embedded development on Linux. I find the book very good. It's compact, very well written and has detailed descriptions of the procedures to building embedded Linux systems. |

| A must-have for this kind of project! |
On the one hand, a typical Linux user is going to install a pre-built package (Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu, etc) on pre-built PC. This book isn't for them - there are plenty of books for learning and using Linux.
On the other hand, embedded systems developers often have a good, working toolchain from a vendor like WindRiver or DataLight. This book isn't necessarily for them, either.
But if you're building your own system: your own DIO controllers, perhaps with a mix of flash drives and conventional storage, perhaps remote booting ... and if you've decided to use Open Source as your platform ...
then you NEED this book.
There simply isn't any other text out there that covers the breadth of subjects (toolchain, kernel build, kernel tailoring, media types, etc etc etc) with the wealth of details as this book.
It's an excellent book, and an indispensible resource. |

| Book is kind of outdated |
Book is based on 2.4 kernel. Since we are currently at 2.6 kernel this book does seem to have outdated information |

| Good guide |
It would be a good guide to a person to prepare for a project to develop embedded linux system. It gives you the information what is necessar, what is work well and how to get them. But you should have some experience on linux language.

| disappointed |
I read this book in about 2 hours and the contents really disappoint me. I expected the book to discuss in details of the issues related to embedded linux. And to a degree, this book is like a dictionary of all the terms you might encounter during the development and only a few direct examples. And given how fast the Linux kernel, open source packages evolve over time, the examples given in this book is totally outdated.
A lot of the topics talked about in this book you probably already faced on the desktop, and would be totally useless to someone who has done projects like LinuxFromScratch.
to sum up the new stuff in this book in a few words:
Hardware: x86 or ARM, with flash and JFFS2 and UBOOT
cross compile using gcc, uClibc, busybox, TinyLogin
The book feels like someone outlined everything and wrote one skin deep paragraph on everything.
