Product Description
Modern appliances are complex machines with processors, operatingsystems, and application software. While there are books that will tellyou how to run Linux on embedded hardware, and books on how to build aLinux application, Linux Appliance Designis the first book to demonstrate how to merge the two and create aLinux appliance. You’ll see for yourself why Linux is the embeddedoperating system of choice for low-cost development and a fast time tomarket.Linux Appliance Design shows how to build betterappliances–appliances with more types of interfaces, more dynamicinterfaces, and better debugged interfaces. You’ll learn how to buildbackend daemons, handle asynchronous events, and connect various userinterfaces (including web, framebuffers, infrared control, SNMP, andfront panels) to these processes for remote configuration and control. Linux Appliance Designalso introduces the Run-Time Access library, which provides a uniformmechanism for user interfaces to communicate with daemons.
Learn to:
Separate your user interfaces from your daemonsGive user interfaces run time access to configuration, status, and statisticsAdd professional network management capabilities to your applicationUse SNMP and build a MIBBuild a web-based appliance interfaceBuild a command line interface (CLI)Build a framebuffer interface with an infrared control as inputManage logs and alarms on an applianceAbout the Author
