"Part one of the series, written by Simtec Senior Software
Engineer Sanders and Simtec Software Engineer Silverstone, walked
new Linux developers through the construction of a simple embedded
Linux system. Principal sections of the new web server tutorial
include: A
"utomated, reproducible, reliable building -- Shortening the
edit, build, and test cycle via automation, including use of a
Revision Control System (RCS), or for larger systems, a full build
manager
"Scripting builds and common tasks -- using a shell script to
add functions to copy executables and their library dependencies,
configure a DHCP client, and copy kernel modules from the host to
the target
"Creating a web server's file system -- Choosing and configuring
a web server, acquiring the Thttpd binary, and testing with the
QEMU emulator."
