Embedded Linux will help the user: select an Embedded Linux platform based on hardware requirements; build and boot a custom Linux kernel for the platform; remote debug programs running on the platform using GNU tools; connect data acquisition and control electronics/peripherals using the platform's serial, parallel, USB, I/O port and I2C interfaces; interface the peripherals to the kernel and applications using modules; collect, control, store and present data via open source protocols and applications; and analyze Embedded Linux vendor product offerings.

Craig Hollabaugh, Ph.D., first administered Sun (R) and Digital (R) workstations while pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His first embedded design, US Patent #5,222,027, remotely monitors a petroleum process. In 1995, at Wireless Scientific (R), he began using Linux for industrial control.
Craig currently consults for three companies from his home in Ouray, Colorado. He developed the Proteus Scalable Node (TM) code for Antec. At Clifton, Weiss and Associates, he's a member of a carrier-class telecommunications network design team. He's also designing FM, MP3, and Bluetooth (TM) headset electronics for Arriva (R).
