ARM+LINUX Route , Focus on Embedded Linux Operating system and its application software development goal ：
（1） Master the structure and principle of mainstream embedded microprocessor （ It is preliminarily determined as arm9）
（2） Must master an embedded operating system （ Preliminary determination by uclinux or linux, Version to be determined ）
（3） Must be familiar with embedded software development process and do at least one embedded software project .
What are the disadvantages of embedded software development ：
（1） The starting point is high , The techniques used are often difficult , If the software and hardware foundation is not good , Especially the operating system level software foundation is not deep , May not be suitable for this trip .
（2） The number of enterprises in this field is far less than that of Internet enterprises . At the same time, the salary will be lower .
（3） There are a few companies that often want people with master's degree or above to engage in embedded technology , It is mainly based on embedded system . But most companies do not have this requirement , As long as you have experience .
（4） Strong platform support , It's hard to change platforms .
Method steps ：
1, Basic knowledge ：
objective ： Can understand the working principle of hardware , But the focus is on embedded software , Especially operating system level software , That will be our advantage .
subject
： digital circuit , Principles of Computer Organization , Embedded microprocessor architecture . assembly language ,C/C++, Principles of compilation , discrete mathematics . Data structure and algorithm , operating system , software engineering , network , database .
method ： There are many subjects , But they are all relatively simple foundations . Not necessarily all , Optional courses are available .
Focus on books ：the c++ programming language, data structure -C2.
2, study linux：
objective ： In depth grasp linux system .
method
： use linux—〉linxu System programming development —〉 Driver development and analysis linux kernel . Look first 《 deep 》, That's the principle . After watching it several times , see 《 scenario analysis 》, In depth comparison , The two books intersect , Deep is the key , Love is the eye . The analysis is that 0.11 edition , Suitable for learning . Finally, in-depth code .
Focus on books ：linux Complete analysis of kernel ,unix Environment advanced programming , In depth understanding linux kernel ,linux Scenario analysis of kernel source code .
3, Learning embedded linux：
objective ： Master embedded processor and its system .
method ：（1） Structure and application of embedded microprocessor ： direct arm The principle and compilation are enough , Don't repeat x86.
（2） Embedded operating system class ：ucOS/II simple , Open Source , You can get started . After that, we will study deeply uClinux.
（3） There must be a development board （arm9 above ）, You can take part in the training if you have conditions （ Rapid progress , Can you make some friends ）.
Focus on books ： Mao de Cao 《 Embedded system 》 And others arm9 Manual and arm Assembly instructions, etc .
4, In depth study ：
A, Digital image compression technology ： The main thing is to master MPEG,mp3 Equal coding and decoding algorithm and technology .
B, Communication protocol and programming technology ：TCP/IP agreement ,802.11,Bluetooth,GPRS,GSM,CDMA etc .
C, Network and information security technology ： Such as encryption technology , digital certificate CA etc .
D,DSP technology ：Digital Signal Process,DSP The processor realizes the digital signal processing algorithm by hardware .
explain ： Too many details have not been explained , It can be adjusted according to the actual situation . The point is 1,3, It doesn't have to be done exactly in order . For learning c++, the reason being that c++ It's not just a language , A tool , She is also an art , A culture , A philosophical idea , But it's not something to show off . about linux kernel , Learning programming , It's also necessary to read some good code .
be careful ： We should learn to raise one against many , There is a strong foundation , A lot of things can be easily seen . Want to be a qualified programmer , The prerequisite is to be proficient in at least one programming language , And have good logical thinking . We must combine theory with practice . Don't just study technology , It's hard to squeeze in time, though , But there's still room to perfect other hobbies , Like the universe , Administration , Psychology , music , game , Science fiction film . There are still some things that we don't want to do, but we have to do ! Technology is programmed and reprogrammed . Never dream of reaching the sky step by step , Don't be impetuous , Don't think it's a long way to go . It's programming and programming , I'll program after that , Reprogramming ! When the opportunity comes, start a business （ Don't believe in miracles , It's hard to succeed if you start a business blindly , Even if it is successful, the development space is not necessarily very large ）.
