Comprehensive Real-World Guidance for Every Embedded Developer and Engineer
This book brings together indispensable knowledge for building efficient, high-value, Linux-based embedded products: information that has never been assembled in one place before. Drawing on years of experience as an embedded Linux consultant and field application engineer, Christopher Hallinan offers solutions for the specific technical issues you're most likely to face, demonstrates how to build an effective embedded Linux environment, and shows how to use it as productively as possible.
Hallinan begins by touring a typical Linux-based embedded system, introducing key concepts and components, and calling attention to differences between Linux and traditional embedded environments. Writing from the embedded developer's viewpoint, he thoroughly addresses issues ranging from kernel building and initialization to bootloaders, device drivers to file systems.
Hallinan thoroughly covers the increasingly popular BusyBox utilities; presents a step-by-step walkthrough of porting Linux to custom boards; and introduces real-time configuration via CONFIG_RT--one of today's most exciting developments in embedded Linux. You'll find especially detailed coverage of using development tools to analyze and debug embedded systems--including the art of kernel debugging.

If you have programming experience and a familiarity with C--the dominant language in embedded systems--Programming Embedded Systems, Second Edition is exactly what you need to get started with embedded software. This software is ubiquitous, hidden away inside our watches, DVD players, mobile phones, anti-lock brakes, and even a few toasters. The military uses embedded software to guide missiles, detect enemy aircraft, and pilot UAVs. Communication satellites, deep-space probes, and many medical instruments would have been nearly impossible to create without embedded software.
The first edition of Programming Embedded Systems taught the subject to tens of thousands of people around the world and is now considered the bible of embedded programming. This second edition has been updated to cover all the latest hardware designs and development methodologies.
The techniques and code examples presented here are directly applicable to real-world embedded software projects of all sorts. Examples use the free GNU software programming tools, the eCos and Linux operating systems, and a low-cost hardware platform specially developed for this book. If you obtain these tools along with Programming Embedded Systems, Second Edition, you'll have a full environment for exploring embedded systems in depth. But even if you work with different hardware and software, the principles covered in this book apply.
Whether you are new to embedded systems or have done embedded work before, you'll benefit from the topics in this book, which include:
So whether you're writing your first embedded program, designing the latest generation of hand-held whatchamacalits, or managing the people who do, this book is for you. Programming Embedded Systems will help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to achieve proficiency with embedded software.

If you want to investigate specific topics rather than read the entire book through, here is a chapter-by-chapter summary:
Chapter 1, introduces bash and tells you how to install it as your login shell. Then it surveys the basics of interactive shell use, including overviews of the UNIX file and directory scheme, standard I/O, and background jobs.
Chapter 2, discusses the shell's command history mechanism (including the emacs- and vi-editing modes), history substitution and the fc history command, and key bindings with readline and bind.
Chapter 3, covers ways to customize your shell environment without programming, by using the startup and environment files. Aliases, options, and shell variables are the customization techniques discussed.
Chapter 4, is an introduction to shell programming. It explains the basics of shell scripts and functions, and discusses several important "nuts-and-bolts" programming features: string manipulation operators, brace expansion, command-line arguments (positional parameters), and command substitution.
Chapter 5, continues the discussion of shell programming by describing command exit status, conditional expressions, and the shell's flow-control structures: if, for, case, select, while, and until.
Chapter 6, goes into depth about positional parameters and command-line option processing, then discusses special types and properties of variables, integer arithmetic, and arrays.
Chapter 7, gives a detailed description of bash I/O. All of the shell's I/O redirectors are covered, as are the line-at-a-time I/O commands read and echo. Then the chapter discusses the shell's command-line processing mechanism and the eval command.
Chapter 8, covers process-related issues in detail. It starts with a discussion of job control, then gets into various low-level information about processes, including process IDs, signals, and traps. The chapter then moves to a higher level of abstraction to discuss coroutines and subshells.
Chapter 9, discusses various debugging techniques, like trace and verbose modes, and the "fake" signal traps. We then present in detail a useful shell tool, written using the shell itself: a bash debugger.
Chapter 10, gives information for system administrators, including techniques for implementing system-wide shell customization and features related to system security.
Chapter 11, shows you how to go about getting bash and how to install it on your system. It also outlines what to do in the event of problems along the way.
Appendix A compares bash to several similar shells, including the standard Bourne shell, the IEEE 1003.2 POSIX shell standard, the Korn shell (ksh) and the public-domain Korn shell (pdksh), and the MKS Toolkit shell for MS-DOS and OS/2.
Appendix B contains lists of shell invocation options, built-in commands, built-in variables, conditional test operators, options, I/O redirection, and emacs and vi editing mode commands.
Appendix C gives information on writing and compiling your own loadable built-ins.
Appendix D lists the bash reserved words and provides a complete BNF description of the shell.
Appendix E lists the ways that you can obtain the major scripts in this book for free, using anonymous FTP or electronic mail.
This second edition covers all of the features of bash Version 2.0, while still applying to bash Version 1.x. It includes one-dimensional arrays, parameter expansion, more pattern-matching operations, new commands, security improvements, additions to ReadLine, improved configuration and installation, and an additional programming aid, the bash shell debugger.

This book is intended for three types of readers:
- You might be a developer already experienced with programming for theGNU/Linux system, and you want to learn about some of its advanced featuresand capabilities.You might be interested in writing more sophisticated programswith features such as multiprocessing, multithreading, interprocess communication,and interaction with hardware devices.You might want to improve yourprograms by making them run faster, more reliably, and more securely, or bydesigning them to interact better with the rest of the GNU/Linux system.
- You might be a developer experienced with another UNIX-like system who’sinterested in developing GNU/Linux software, too.You might already be familiarwith standard APIs such as those in the POSIX specification.To developGNU/Linux software, you need to know the peculiarities of the system, itslimitations, additional capabilities, and conventions.
- You might be a developer making the transition from a non-UNIX environment,such as Microsoft’s Win32 platform.You might already be familiar withthe general principles of writing good software, but you need to know the specifictechniques that GNU/Linux programs use to interact with the system and with each other. And you want to make sure your programs fit naturally into theGNU/Linux system and behave as users expect them to.
