ELJonline: Embedded References

Information for creating dedicated Linux systems is readily available on-line, plenty of it. Researching the options and finding the right answer can be frustrating given the abundant amount of widely-distributed info. These sites can start you off on the right foot. Below you will find portal or Yahoo-type sites dedicated to embedded systems and Linux that gather together and organize the information conveniently, a few examples of the coverage on embedded Linux systems in the press and in the Linux Documentation Project, and also a handful of companies that are already making this their business.
