Wow!
So far the book proves that embedding Linux while not easy can be fun and interesting. You never know what Tux will do during his startup sequences, even if you did indeed write the stuff the kernel is using for that series of startup steps.
 It's a good for comprehensive for a new embedded linux. January 5, 2007

I'm a new developer of embedded linux and have a few background about linux. When I come to embedded linux and I read this book, it quite difficult for me. However I have a big picture of the embedded linux.
If you want to have a detail of step by step of building kernel or bootloader, the detail not enough. More detail about how to or step by step of configiration and compile kernel or bootloader you should read more from recommended website.
I rate this book 4 stars because I am a new embedded linux developer, the author don't give me detail enough.
Excellent book for embeded developers November 28, 2006

This book is an excellent primer on the Linux Embedded system development and applications support.
Mr Hallinan goes over all the important topics for Linux embedded applications support and development.
A great tutorial for system developers or technical support staff involved with Embedded Linux.

Hallinan's book presents a balanced tour of the basic knowledge
required for an embedded Linux design effort. The subject is
exceedingly large and the author wisely chooses to focus on essentials
such as tools, debugging, and architecture. There is less emphasis on
quickly dated material such as source code tours and build
instructions as is found in other texts. This book will add to your
knowledge... not just your script library.
Two attributes of this text are notable: a) This is the only text on
the market with an overview of the latest CONFIG_RT technology found
in the Linux kernel. CONFIG_RT is a new way of reaching real time
performance requirements that does not depend on sub-kernels or
interrupt abstraction. b) The author remains true to making this a
"primer". This is an ideal book to start with and lay the foundation
for future learning
