Exploring Beaglebone

"What I've learned on this topic has taken me a decade of self-study culling through books and release notes and various platforms. Here, you've demystified it all in the span of a single (large) volume." -Brian DeLacey, founder of the IoT Festival "This wonderful book is at the nexus of so many of the skills that are vital to today's computer scientists, electrical engineers, and innovators of all stripes as they turn their ideas into transformative creations." -Prof Ray Simar, Professor in the Practice of Digital Signal Processing Architecture, Rice University, Texas "Derek Molloy's, Exploring BeagleBone, is THE book to go to if you are interested in learning about embedded Linux programming and how to use it to exploit the powerful capabilities of the BeagleBone single board computer." -Prof. Burford Furman, San José State University, California GIVE LIFE TO YOUR CREATIONS WITH THE VERSATILE, LINUX-POWERED BEAGLE BOARDS Whatever applications you can dream up, Beagle boards can help you build them. This hands-on guide teaches you the essential Beagle board skills and underlying engineering principles. It then takes you into interfacing, communication, and control so that you can create your own projects. Finally, you'll explore using Beagle boards for advanced applications such as building Internet-of-Things systems and real-time interfacing. With hands-on examples and outstanding guidance, this book will give you the in-depth knowledge to do great things with your Beagle board. * Features a detailed review of the Linux, electronics, and programming skills required to master the Beagle boards * Thoroughly examines interfacing a Beagle board to almost any type of circuit or device * Demonstrates advanced Beagle board applications such as network communications; rich user interfaces; images, video, and audio; and real-time interfacing using the board's PRU-ICSS * Teaches transferrable essential skills to help you design with electronics, modules, or peripherals that can be used even beyond the Beagle board * Updated to cover the latest Beagle boards, Linux kernel versions, and Linux software releases. * Includes new content on Linux kernel development, the Linux Remote Processor Framework, CAN bus, IoT frameworks, and much more!
