Riassunto

In-depth instruction and practical techniques for buildingwith the BeagleBone embedded Linux platform

Exploring BeagleBone is a hands-on guide to bringinggadgets, gizmos, and robots to life using the popular BeagleBoneembedded Linux platform. Comprehensive content and deep detailprovide more than just a BeagleBone instructionmanual—you’ll also learn the underlying engineeringtechniques that will allow you to create your own projects. Thebook begins with a foundational primer on essential skills, andthen gradually moves into communication, control, and advancedapplications using C/C++, allowing you to learn at your own pace.In addition, the book’s companion website featuresinstructional videos, source code, discussion forums, and more, toensure that you have everything you need.

The BeagleBone’s small size, high performance, low cost,and extreme adaptability have made it a favorite developmentplatform, and the Linux software base allows for complex yetflexible functionality. The BeagleBone has applications in smartbuildings, robot control, environmental sensing, to name a few;and, expansion boards and peripherals dramatically increase thepossibilities. Exploring BeagleBone provides areader-friendly  guide to the device, including a crash coursein computer engineering. While following step by step, you can:

• Get up to speed on embedded Linux, electronics, andprogramming
• Master interfacing electronic circuits, buses and modules, withpractical examples
• Explore the Internet-connected BeagleBone and the BeagleBonewith a display
• Apply the BeagleBone to sensing applications, including videoand sound
• Explore the BeagleBone’s Programmable Real-TimeControllers

Hands-on learning helps ensure that your new skills stay withyou, allowing you to design with electronics, modules, orperipherals even beyond the BeagleBone. Insightful guidance andonline peer support help you transition from beginner to expert asyou master the techniques presented in Exploring BeagleBone,the practical handbook for the popular computing platform.

“Loaded with helpful information and coding tutorials,this exploration around the extensive capabilities of BeagleBoneBlack has me excited to connect everything I encounter to theInternet.”
— Christine Long, BeagleBoard.orgFoundation

“What I’ve learned on this topic has taken me adecade of self-study culling through books and release notes andvarious platforms. Here, you’ve demystified it all in thespan of a single (large) volume.”
— Brian DeLacey, founder of the IoTFestival

“This wonderful book is at the nexus of so many of theskills that are vital to today’s computer scientists,electrical engineers, and innovators of all stripes as they turntheir ideas into transformative creations.”
— Prof Ray Simar, Professor in the Practice ofDigital Signal Processing Architecture, Rice University,Texas

“Derek Molloy’s, Exploring BeagleBone, is THE bookto go to if you are interested in learning about embedded Linuxprogramming and how to use it to exploit the powerful capabilitiesof the BeagleBone single board computer.”
— Prof. Burford Furman, San José StateUniversity, California

GIVE LIFE TO YOUR CREATIONS WITH THE VERSATILE, LINUX-POWEREDBEAGLEBONE

Whatever applications you can dream up, the BeagleBone can helpyou build them. This hands-on guide teaches you the essentialBeagleBone skills and underlying engineering principles. It thentakes you into interfacing, communication, and control so that youcan create your own projects. Finally, you’ll explore usingthe BeagleBone for advanced applications such as buildingInternet-of-Things systems and real-time interfacing. With hands-onexamples and outstanding guidance, this book will give you thein-depth knowledge to do great things with the BeagleBone.

• Features a detailed review of the Linux, electronics, andprogramming skills required to master the BeagleBone
• Thoroughly examines interfacing the BeagleBone to almost anytype of circuit or device
• Demonstrates advanced BeagleBone applications such as networkcommunications; rich user interfaces; images, video, and audio; andreal-time interfacing using the BeagleBone’s PRU-ICSS
• Teaches transferrable essential skills to help you design withelectronics, modules, or peripherals that can be used even beyondthe BeagleBone
• Offers a strong “learn-by-doing” approach thatsupports both beginners and power users
