Although there is a book that will tell you how to run Linux on embedded hardware, and books on how to build applications for Linux, Linux Appliance Design is the first book that shows how to combine the two and create a Linux appliance. Linux Appliance Design shows how to build better equipment - equipment with more types of interfaces, more dynamic interfaces, and debug a better interface. Learn to: Separate the user interface of your daemon Give user interfaces run time access to configuration, status, and statistics Add professional network management capabilities to your applications Use SNMP and build a MIB Building Build Web-based interface tool command line interface (CLI) Build a framebuffer interface with infrared control as input Manage logs and alarms on an appliance Companion CD includes a prototype appliance - home alarm systems - that support the lesson book.
