Exploring BeagleBone: Tools and Techniques for Building with Embedded Linux

Description

From the Back Cover "Loaded with helpful information and coding tutorials, this exploration around the extensive capabilities of BeagleBoneBlack has me excited to connect everything I encounter to theInternet."-- Christine Long, BeagleBoard.orgFoundation"What I've learned on this topic has taken me adecade of self-study culling through books and release notes andvarious platforms. Here, you've demystified it all in thespan of a single (large) volume."-- Brian DeLacey, founder of the IoTFestival"This wonderful book is at the nexus of so many of theskills that are vital to today's computer scientists, electrical engineers, and innovators of all stripes as they turntheir ideas into transformative creations."-- Prof Ray Simar, Professor in the Practice ofDigital Signal Processing Architecture, Rice University, Texas"Derek Molloy's, Exploring BeagleBone, is THE bookto go to if you are interested in learning about embedded Linuxprogramming and how to use it to exploit the powerful capabilitiesof the BeagleBone single board computer."-- Prof. Burford Furman, San José StateUniversity, CaliforniaGIVE LIFE TO YOUR CREATIONS WITH THE VERSATILE, LINUX-POWEREDBEAGLEBONEWhatever applications you can dream up, the BeagleBone can helpyou build them. This hands-on guide teaches you the essentialBeagleBone skills and underlying engineering principles. It thentakes you into interfacing, communication, and control so that youcan create your own projects. Finally, you'll explore usingthe BeagleBone for advanced applications such as buildingInternet-of-Things systems and real-time interfacing. With hands-onexamples and outstanding guidance, this book will give you thein-depth knowledge to do great things with the BeagleBone.Features a detailed review of the Linux, electronics, andprogramming skills required to master the BeagleBoneThoroughly examines interfacing the BeagleBone to almost anytype of circuit or deviceDemonstrates advanced BeagleBone applications such as networkcommunications; rich user interfaces; images, video, and audio; andreal-time interfacing using the BeagleBone's PRU-ICSSTeaches transferrable essential skills to help you design withelectronics, modules, or peripherals that can be used even beyondthe BeagleBoneOffers a strong "learn-by-doing" approach thatsupports both beginners and power usersVisit the companion website atwww.exploringbeaglebone.com for source code, instructionalvideos, online peer discussions, and more!
