Building Embedded Linux SystemsBuilding Embedded Linux Systems by Karim Yaghmour
Buy new: $44.45 / Used from: $32.99
Super book. Want to do embedded Linux: read it..the coverage on building a GNU toolchain alone is worth the price! On the downside, perhaps some topics are a bit old now though (first published i n 2004 i think).
