Hi guys,



I work in a private indian University as part-time Faculty. I handle Linux programming and Device drivers. I have been assigned a task to start a new embedded linux training programme. I have browsed through linuxdevices.com and other web sites to collect information about SBC's.



I am confused about what hardware to pick up . I want to demonstrate the development process of an embedded linux system which would cover the following



BSP Boot image creation RTOS porting on target Demonstration Mini project Basics of Embedded applications Pl help me



thanx in advance



Bye

Linux doesn't really have a clearly drawn BSP interface, so it is hard to define this part of the development process.

Except for the BSP part, any old PC (even obsolete) can be used to demonstrate these things: From a software point of view, "embedded" x86 boards are not very different from an old PC with a small harddisk (or no harddisk at all), though by sight they do look quite different....

However, you may also want to demonstrate real cross development for which you should select a non-x86 (e.g. ARM or PPC) target. There are many different kinds of (typically "eval-type") boards available to choose from. You should select one that has an up to date Linux kernel available. I used to use boards from SSV

as well as the LART board (see

but I suspect that latter one is a bit outdated by now.
