“With philosophy and education as my guides it is time to embark
on a project to truly learn the ins and outs of embedded
programming. It would have been nice if my day job coincided

mailing-lists and by purchasing a small embedded processor
board.“My first goal was to boot linux on the board. This proved to be
a wonderful journey…”
