Exploring BeagleBone - Derek Molloy - Bog

InΓÇôdepth instruction and practical techniques for building with the BeagleBone embedded Linux platform
Exploring BeagleBone is a handsΓÇôon guide to bringing gadgets, gizmos, and robots to life using the popular BeagleBone embedded Linux platform. Comprehensive content and deep detail provide more than just a BeagleBone instruction manualΓÇöyouΓÇÖll also learn the underlying engineering techniques that will allow you to create your own projects. The book begins with a foundational primer on essential skills, and then gradually moves into communication, control, and advanced applications using C/C++, allowing you to learn at your own pace. In addition, the bookΓÇÖs companion website features instructional videos, source code, discussion forums, and more, to ensure that you have everything you need.
The BeagleBoneΓÇÖs small size, high performance, low cost, and extreme adaptability have made it a favorite development platform, and the Linux software base allows for complex yet flexible functionality. The BeagleBone has applications in smart buildings, robot control, environmental sensing, to name a few; and, expansion boards and peripherals dramatically increase the possibilities. Exploring BeagleBone provides a readerΓÇôfriendly guide to the device, including a crash course in computer engineering. While following step by step, you can:
Get up to speed on embedded Linux, electronics, and programming Master interfacing electronic circuits, buses and modules, with practical examples Explore the InternetΓÇôconnected BeagleBone and the BeagleBone with a display Apply the BeagleBone to sensing applications, including video and sound Explore the BeagleBoneΓÇÖs Programmable RealΓÇôTime Controllers HandsΓÇôon learning helps ensure that your new skills stay with you, allowing you to design with electronics, modules, or peripherals even beyond the BeagleBone. Insightful guidance and online peer support help you transition from beginner to expert as you master the techniques presented in Exploring BeagleBone, the practical handbook for the popular computing platform.
