Hey everyone, I want to learn linux for embedded programming. Im sure it would be best to learn linux for PC first. So i can get a feel for it. Can anyone point me to some books or links to sites where i can learn Linux.

I have a little cheapo netbook type device

CPU=WM8505
RAM=256mb
NAND=2GB

It can run Android and Windows CE ... Android runs off linux if im correct...
I would love to be able to make my own Kernel and such for this device.

It seems like a fun thing to learn and i know it will take a LONG LONG time but i think its worth learning.

So please help me out here. You know when i learn i share and everyone learns :D
 
I have run Linux on A bunch of stuff. That's what got me picking I wanted to run it on a Pic32 got some chips but realized
I have no board to use a 100 pin chip and there was not much out there at the time for the pic32 to mount it on but now there is. Maybe give it a try now

With one of these **broken link removed**

I found a Arm board for about $120.00 time you get it here shipping and all. That would be a hell of a web sever it has all you need and more. Plus it has pin outs for I/0 adc spi I2C It's a NanosG20 **broken link removed**

The low-down on Nanos: What runs under Linux on your desktop will run on your Nanos. This makes Nanos the perfect fit for energy-saving use as a log converter, data logger or similar. It can also be used as a power-saving alternative to nettops, barebones computers, and so on.



NanosG20 comes with its own compiler, allowing easy program development. There is no need to install additional software on a development computer. Simply use Samba or NFS to unlock a directory on the Nanos, write scripts or programs in your favorite editor, then use SSH, Telnet or the serial console to compile and test on the Nanos.
