Books

  • Embedded Linux System Design and Development - by P. Raghavan, Amol Lad, and Sriram Neelakandan (Hardcover - Dec 21, 2005)
    • This one looks quite good.
  • Embedded Linux Primer: A Practical Real-World Approach - by Christopher Hallinan
    • So does this one.
  • Building Embedded Linux Systems - by Karim Yaghmour
    • This book is a bit dated (the edition I have is from 2003, but it is still a great resource.
