This whitepaper from esteemed Linux author and TimeSys product manager Bill von Hagen discusses how graphical tools can assist embedded Linux developers in creating filesystems and managing application packages and library dependencies. It uses TimeSys's TimeStorm tools to illustrate several points, but is largely vendor neutral in its explanation of concepts fundamental to embedded Linux development.
