Can anyone recommend any books/web resources on embedded linux -- how the various kernels/configurations differ, general architectural principles, how to get RTOS-like behavior, etc?
thanks

This allows you to build cross-development version of the gcc tools, and a root file system based either on glibc or the smaller uclibc. It allows you to build the full gnu utilities or smaller busybox-based versions of them.
