Hello all,

I am looking to start learning embedded linux on my own.
what and all requirements and boards do I require ?

I have some fair amount of experience in FPGA design and implentation using verilog and VHDL but have no clue what C, Linux and embedded designs are all about.

Please suggest me where to start from.

I have a limited budget, so is it feasible ?

Thanks
 

If you have some experience about FPGA and you also want to learn some embedded linux, I think Zynq will be the excellent choice for you. Do some google about zynq, you will find your boards.

I also recorded some video about embedded linux on Zynq, maybe you will be interested, here is the link:

I will record more, welcome to subcribe us. Thank you.

I would start with a Raspbberry PI, it's only $30 USD and there are lots of distributions that support it, from Debian based with a desktop GUI to Arch Linux which is very fast but you have to know how to run Linux.

Once you get an OS running you can look at building a tool chain which is a compiler that is designed to output files to run on different hardware (such as the raspberry pi). Once you have the compiler you can learn how to write C code.

If your desktop/laptop is Linux then you should just be able to install the linux-gnueabi-gcc compiler. Then using this compiler just search for some C tutorials and you are off and running
