Embedded Linux: Hardware, Software, and Interfacing

Embedded Linux will help the user: select an Embedded Linux platform based on hardware requirements; build and boot a custom Linux kernel for the platform; remote debug programs running on the platform using GNU tools; connect data acquisition and control electronics/peripherals using the platform's serial, parallel, USB, I/O port and I2C interfaces; interface the peripherals to the kernel and applications using modules; collect, control, store and present data via open source protocols and applications; and analyze Embedded Linux vendor product offerings.

Craig Hollabaugh, Ph.D., first administered Sun^® and Digital^® workstations while pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His first embedded design, US Patent #5,222,027, remotely monitors a petroleum process. In 1995, at Wireless Scientific^®, he began using Linux for industrial control.

Craig currently consults for three companies from his home in Ouray, Colorado. He developed the Proteus Scalable Node^™ code for Antec. At Clifton, Weiss and Associates, he's a member of a carrier-class telecommunications network design team. He's also designing FM, MP3, and Bluetooth^™ headset electronics for Arriva^®.
