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 boot loaders, device drivers to file systems.
Hallinan thoroughly covers the increasingly popular Busy Box utilities; presents a step-by-step walk through 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.
- Compare leading embedded Linux processors
- Understand the details of the Linux kernel initialization process
- Learn about the special role of bootloaders in embedded Linux systems, with specific emphasis on U-Boot
- Use embedded Linux file systems, including JFFS2--with detailed guidelines for building Flash-resident file system images
- Understand the Memory Technology Devices subsystem for flash (and other) memory devices
- Master gdb, KGDB, and hardware JTAG debugging
- Learn many tips and techniques for debugging within the Linux kernel
- Maximize your productivity in cross-development environments
- Prepare your entire development environment, including TFTP, DHCP, and NFS target servers
- Configure, build, and initialize BusyBox to support your unique requirements

Awesome...Must have for Kernel hackers and Embedded Linux Developers
has to be when it is recommended by the Linux Foundation itself.
I gave the book a Look while i was at C-DAC.
Pros:
1. Illustrated enough, neither too much or too less.
2. Excellent starting point
3. Hardware dependencies of an OS clearly illustrated
Cons:
1. Need to have some experience with the Linux Kernel (NOT APPLICATION, ITS KERNEL).
2. Well versed with system programming and OS Concepts (internals of system calls, memory management etc.)
all in all, NO...

Best book ..Who wants to have practical exposure
This book covers all the phases of Booting Embedded linux into a hardware board.
And also includes all the basics of the almost every topic relevant to embedded linux .
It covers the procedures of installing and using Busy box ,Build root..file systems
every things.
