How to start learning Embedded Linux?

[shamil choudhury]

Hello Guys,

I am a student of ECE, 3rd Semester. Our college is insisting us to start B.Tech project from now on.

I don't have any idea on Embedded Linux or any other Embedded OS, how they work, where are they implemented etc. But I have experience on Desktop software development and I know a wide variety of programming languages like C, C++, Java to other HLLs.

Please suggest me from where I should start learning about Embedded OS and their hardware requirements etc.

Thank You.

P.S: I found some old threads where almost similar questions were asked, but most of the links of resources are not working..

Do you mean "Linux Kernel Development" by Robert Love (Novell) or "Linux Device Drivers" by Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini, Greg Kroah-Hartman (O'reilly)?

Sorry my bad for messing it up.

It's the latter one , "Linux Device Drivers" by Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini, Greg Kroah-Hartman (O'reilly)" .

If you're interested, there's a free intro course on Linux on edX right now. A lot of the ideas are portable since the embedded version is just a smaller more optimized version.
