In-depth instruction and practical techniques for building with the BeagleBone embedded Linux
platform Exploring BeagleBone is a hands-on guide to bringing gadgets gizmos and robots to
life using the popular BeagleBone embedded Linux platform. Comprehensive content and deep
detail provide more than just a BeagleBone instruction manual-you'll also learn the underlying
engineering techniques that will allow you to create your own projects. The book begins with a
foundational primer on essential skills and then gradually moves into communication control
and advanced applications using C C++ allowing you to learn at your own pace. In addition the
book's companion website features instructional videos source code discussion forums and
more to ensure that you have everything you need. The BeagleBone's small size high
performance low cost and extreme adaptability have made it a favorite development platform
and the Linux software base allows for complex yet flexible functionality. The BeagleBone has
applications in smart buildings robot control environmental sensing to name a few and
expansion boards and peripherals dramatically increase the possibilities. Exploring BeagleBone
provides a reader-friendly guide to the device including a crash course in computer
engineering. While following step by step you can: * Get up to speed on embedded Linux
electronics and programming * Master interfacing electronic circuits buses and modules with
practical examples * Explore the Internet-connected BeagleBone and the BeagleBone with a
display * Apply the BeagleBone to sensing applications including video and sound * Explore the
BeagleBone's Programmable Real-Time Controllers * Updated to cover the latest Beagle boards
Linux kernel versions and Linux software releases. * Includes new content on Linux kernel
development the Linux Remote Processor Framework CAN bus IoT frameworks and much more!
Hands-on learning helps ensure that your new skills stay with you allowing you to design with
electronics modules or peripherals even beyond the BeagleBone. Insightful guidance and online
peer support help you transition from beginner to expert as you master the techniques presented
in Exploring BeagleBone the practical handbook for the popular computing platform.
