a couple recommendations. first, in terms of books, we've discussed
this before and i would recommend:
* chris hallinan's "embedded linux primer", 2nd ed. should be out
soon, make sure you get the *2nd* edition, not the first.
Thanks
* "essential linux device drivers", by venkateswaran
Thanks
the bigger issue, though, is that embedded and driver development is
such a huge area that it's almost impossible to intelligently give
someone advice on how to get started. where do you *want* to start?
what are you interested in?
Any thing every thing.Saying that is kidding but I do it for fun.
best way to get started is to pick a development kit, order it and
start playing. maybe the new beagleboard-xM. for $150, it's hard to
get a better deal.
Ok I had a look at beagleboard-xM page but what is the need of it?
Can the same not be done using a Laptop or some simulator or a PC at home.
In case of beagleboard do you need to convert that kit into a full computer?
people can't really give you advice when the field is so vast. you
need to take the first step -- buy a development kit and at least get
it up and running. then play. after that, you'll at least have more
focused questions.
Sure thanks for this suggestion as I was not aware what to do.
