Tutorial pengembangan sistem embedded Linux

LinuxDevices has posted the second in a series of tutorials on embedded Linux system development written by ARM Linux kernel hackers Vincent Sanders and Daniel Silverstone of the UK-based development firm, Simtec Electronics. Part Two explains how to construct a simple web server with a command shell on the console.

Part one of the series, written by Simtec Senior Software Engineer Sanders and Simtec Software Engineer Silverstone, walked new Linux developers through the construction of a simple embedded Linux system. Principal sections of the new web server tutorial include:

• Automated, reproducible, reliable building -- Shortening the edit, build, and test cycle via automation, including use of a Revision Control System (RCS), or for larger systems, a full build manager
  
  
• Scripting builds and common tasks -- using a shell script to add functions to copy executables and their library dependencies, configure a DHCP
  client, and copy kernel modules from the host to the target
  
  
• Creating a web server's file system -- Choosing and configuring a web server, acquiring the Thttpd binary, and testing with the QEMU emulator

The remaining tutorials, to be published in the coming weeks, include:

• Building an embedded Linux web kiosk
  
• Building an ARM-based embedded Linux web kiosk
  
• Improving an embedded Linux system
  
• Deploying embedded Linux systems
