Tools and Techniques for Building with Embedded Linux

In-depth instruction and practical techniques for buildingwith the Beagle Bone embedded Linux platform

Exploring Beagle Bone is a hands-on guide to bringinggadgets, gizmos, and robots to life using the popular Beagle Boneembedded Linux platform. Comprehensive content and deep detailprovide more than just a Beagle Bone instructionmanual–you’ll also learn the underlying engineeringtechniques that will allow you to create your own projects. Thebook begins with a foundational primer on essential skills, andthen gradually moves into communication, control, and advancedapplications using C/C++, allowing you to learn at your own pace.In addition, the book’s companion website featuresinstructional videos, source code, discussion forums, and more, toensure that you have everything you need.

The Beagle Bone’s small size, high performance, low cost, and extreme adaptability have made it a favorite developmentplatform, and the Linux software base allows for complex yetflexible functionality. The Beagle Bone has applications in smartbuildings, robot control, environmental sensing, to name a few;and, expansion boards and peripherals dramatically increase thepossibilities. Exploring Beagle Bone provides areader-friendly guide to the device, including a crash coursein computer engineering. While following step by step, you can:
* Get up to speed on embedded Linux, electronics, andprogramming
* Master interfacing electronic circuits, buses and modules, withpractical examples
* Explore the Internet-connected Beagle Bone and the Beagle Bonewith a display
* Apply the Beagle Bone to sensing applications, including videoand sound
* Explore the Beagle Bone’s Programmable Real-Time Controllers

Hands-on learning helps ensure that your new skills stay withyou, allowing you to design with electronics, modules, orperipherals even beyond the Beagle Bone. Insightful guidance andonline peer support help you transition from beginner to expert asyou master the techniques presented in Exploring Beagle Bone, the practical handbook for the popular computing platform.
