Embedded Linux terms and resources

Embedded Linux terms and resources-general Linux technology-Linux programming and kernel information. The following is a detailed description. Author: Linux tianzi 1
As a Linux developer, you need to understand the terms in Linux. It is best to know exactly what it is and what it is used. Every term represents a resource and a trend of Linux. If you have never heard of it before and want to develop applications in related fields, you can only be confused, hard and thankless. For example, if you want to support a soft Modem or a printer in Linux, and the Linux release or manufacturer does not have a driver, there are usually three developers:
I. I am used to asking manufacturers to find a solution. If there is no threat, I will change the hardware. After all, there are many hardware vendors.
2. If you want to find a professional website such as linmodem.org or http://www.linuxprinting.org/, you can use it for modification. If not, consider changing the hardware. Unless the device is simple, you can refer to other similar hardware changes.
3: It's really awesome. Everything depends on your own. You can write your own driver for a year and a half.

From a technical perspective, the first is a low-level developer, the second is a good developer, and the third is a genius.
However, from the perspective of a project (not a self-driven project), the first is qualified developers, the second is still excellent developers, and the third is, we use a picture to describe the Link (only to deepen your impression, funny, non-aggressive). If the project team is such a person, there will be nine losses in TEN projects, pay close attention to whether you or the Team has such impulsive people. They should be killed or corrected in time. Otherwise, the waste of time will be wasted.

The purpose is to demonstrate the importance of Linux terms and resources. Therefore, we need to have a good understanding of Linux terms and see what resources are available for us, programmers who do not know how to use resources must not be good developers. They should go back to windows and let Bill take the lead.

The following is a resource list and related introduction (The Development wizard with related resources on the Tomlinux.com website, and the embedded Linux Resource Information and Related downloads will be updated all the time ):
