[Buildroot] Books and/or courses for beginners - ARM devices

[Mauricio Litinow]

Hi folks,


It has been difficult for me to absorb the nedded knowledge to compile 
and build Buildroot for ARM devices.

I have never done anything like this before.

Please, is the book "Mastering Embedded Linux-2nd-Ed" a good starting 
point? Is there book more up to date?

Are there any online courses explaining details about this process?


Yours sincerely,

Mauricio

This is perhaps some shameless advertising, but:

 - https://bootlin.com/training/embedded-linux/
 - https://bootlin.com/training/buildroot/

Training materials are all freely available, and I think our Buildroot
slides are a pretty solid documentation of how to use Buildroot, create
new packages, etc.

Best regards,

Thomas
