PowerPC Microprocessor Common Hardware Reference Platform by Apple Computer, Inc.,International Business Machines, Inc.,Motorola Corp. Pdf

This book defines the architecture requirements and minimum system requirements for a computer system that is designed to become an open industry standard. These requirements provide a description of the devices, interfaces, and data formats required to design and build a PowerPC-based computer. This standard is designed to provide software compatibility for several operating environments. Systems built to these requirements can use industry-standard components currently found in IBM-compatible and Apple® Macintosh® personal computers. These systems are expected to run various future versions of operating systems including Apple Mac OSTM, IBM AIXTM and PowerPCTM Editions of IBM OS/2 Warp ConnectTM, Microsoft Windows NTTM Workstation, Novell NetwareTM, and SunSoft SolarisTM. This book is the primary source of information for anyone developing a hardware platform, an operating system, or hardware component to be part of these standard systems. It describes the hardware-to-operating-system interface that is essential to anyone building hardware platforms and provides the minimum system configurations that platform designers must meet when building a standard platform. Component manufacturers require this information to produce compatible chips and adapters to use on these platforms, and software developers require the information on mandatory functions and documented interfaces. The architecture is intended to support a range of PowerPC microprocessor-based system implementations including portable, desktop, and server class systems, and allows multiple operating-system implementations across a wide range of environments and functions. This enables new hardware and software enhancements that are necessary for the development of improved user interfaces, higher performance, and broader operating environments.

Building Embedded Linux Systems by Karim Yaghmour Pdf

Linux® is being adopted by an increasing number of embedded systems developers, who have been won over by its sophisticated scheduling and networking, its cost-free license, its open development model, and the support offered by rich and powerful programming tools. While there is a great deal of hype surrounding the use of Linux in embedded systems, there is not a lot of practical information. Building Embedded Linux Systems is the first in-depth, hard-core guide to putting together an embedded system based on the Linux kernel. This indispensable book features arcane and previously undocumented procedures for: Building your own GNU development toolchain Using an efficient embedded development framework Selecting, configuring, building, and installing a target-specific kernel Creating a complete target root filesystem Setting up, manipulating, and using solid-state storage devices Installing and configuring a bootloader for the target Cross-compiling a slew of utilities and packages Debugging your embedded system using a plethora of tools and techniques Details are provided for various target architectures and hardware configurations, including a thorough review of Linux's support for embedded hardware. All explanations rely on the use of open source and free software packages. By presenting how to build the operating system components from pristine sources and how to find more documentation or help, this book greatly simplifies the task of keeping complete control over one's embedded operating system, whether it be for technical or sound financial reasons.Author Karim Yaghmour, a well-known designer and speaker who is responsible for the Linux Trace Toolkit, starts by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of Linux as an embedded operating system. Licensing issues are included, followed by a discussion of the basics of building embedded Linux systems. The configuration, setup, and use of over forty different open source and free software packages commonly used in embedded Linux systems are also covered. uClibc, BusyBox, U-Boot, OpenSSH, thttpd, tftp, strace, and gdb are among the packages discussed.

About This Macintosh by John Ostrowick Pdf

This is an introductory book that explains how to use an Apple Macintosh computer, running Mac OS X. It starts with the very basics of clicking and dragging, and how to use the Finder, as well as what all the System Preferences do. It covers installing software, using various utilities, and it finishes with a chapter on optimising your Mac to make it more efficient. There is also a chapter on how to upgrade the hardware. This book does not cover the UNIX (Darwin) commandline present on the Mac. That information is explained in a second volume, More About this Macintosh.
