embedded programming

Hello group,

What takes to change a career from high-level software programming to embedded programming in Linux?

It is a while I have started learning Linux and digital design. However, still not sure if I'm on a right track. My goal is to getting to a level of programming in Linux to work in embedded field. Would you please advise me on this?

Thanks, Amit

Well decide first what field ... you have three options:

  1. Embedded application programming. (C/C++ .. requires very little or no knowledge of hardware. But still very close to the operating system. Similar to WIN32 API programming)
  2. Embedded device driver programming. (mostly C ... requires lot of hardware and digital knowledge. Though you are closer to the hardware and you are far away from high level system design.)
  3. Linux kernel programming.
