    Embedded Linux with Jay Carlson

    Jay Carlson, an embedded Linux expert and PhD student, discusses his comprehensive guide to building embedded Linux systems, detailing the process of designing and testing 10 different boards to demonstrate the steps. He explains the transition from bare-metal microcontroller development to embedded Linux, emphasizing that Linux development involves reading and configuring source code rather than writing it from scratch, and highlights the importance of using build systems like Buildroot. Carlson advises engineers to start with simple, low-cost processors like the Allwinner A33 or V3S, arguing that modern embedded Linux is accessible to hobbyists and small teams if they leverage existing mainline kernel support and dev configs.
