BOOK



Embedded platforms are interesting because they combine two fun

fields. On one side, there is open source software, and on the

other side, there is open source hardware. But a little further

from that, we have electronics (AVR-microcontrollers), which can

be very interesting and fun to work with. Cubieboard is a

powerful single board computer, similar to Raspberry Pi, that

supports multiple operating systems, such as Ubuntu and

Debian



This book will teach you everything you need to know about

project development using Cubieboard, even if you are not an

embedded platform expert



The book starts by going over the most well-known Allwinner

development boards, helps you choose a board, and recommends

additional required hardware. Next, the book briefly explains how

to "talk" to the board. Then, things start to get interesting

with the installation of a desktop OS onto an SD card and booting

into a fully graphical desktop system. Concluding this work, the

last chapter gives you an example of how to connect external

peripherals such as an LED
