Xpert in 8-16 bit microcontroller embedded system now inclining toward embedded linux
Hello friends,
I am here to get into embedded linux...I have developed many projects of 8bit microcontroller based embedded system.....I, now want myself to dive into sea of embedded linux for more complex stuff... Being newbie here I want to know some thing and I have some questions in my mind so pls guys do help me..... (1) I know linux does not work on 16 bit controllers.....So to develope and test the things do I need to buy processor board???......and pls suggest which kind of and more specifically which one for newbie llike me..... (2) I want to know on which distro do I need to work???.........How can I load kernel in my hardware???......Any tutorial for that??? (3) I have heared about JTAG...Is it for loading kernel into embedded board???.......If yes than pls provide any tutorial like thing..... (4) Pls Suggest any book from scratch to professional level so I can dive real deep into this sea of embedded linux.....THANKS IN ADVANCE |

Any linux distribution can be used as development system, even a WINDOWS could be use (but I think it will be more difficult to get your toolchain working) Quote:

There are, however, Linuxes (builds of Linux/packages of stuff to enable you to build Linux to your exact requirements) which have the option of not using a memory manager, so even this isn't an absolute block on using the simpler parts. In addition, as well as being simpler, the 8/16 bit devices don't tend to support a very large address space, and an OS like Linux will require more memory space than a simple monitor and they tend to be on the slower side, so there are applications for which you might think Linux - or any real OS, as opposed to a monitor - is a bad idea..
