Mastering Embedded Linux Programming - Second Edition

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "You configure tap0 in exactly the same way as any other interface."

A block of code is set as follows:

/ { #address-cells = <2>; #size-cells = <2>; memory@80000000 { device_type = "memory"; reg = <0x00000000 0x80000000 0 0x80000000>; };};

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ mipsel-unkown-linux-gnu-gcc -dumpmachinemilsel-unknown-linux-gnu
