Buy Exploring Raspberry Pi: Interfacing to the Real World with Embedded Linux 1 by Molloy, Derek (ISBN: 9781119188681) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Great and well presented, beginner to intermediate and easy to follow - My profession is as an applications engineer for an American Semiconductor manufacturer. This book is excellent and follows the same theme as an earlier book by the same author on the Sitara based beaglebone black SBC. Very well presented and accurate, each chapter is detailed and full of working examples. This book deserves to be on the bench as a reference guide and a great introduction to Linux on the raspberry PI. This is a really good read and absolutely worth purchasing. Review: An accessible, comprehensive description of the Raspberry Pi hardware and software - This book is ideal for people who want a bit more detail about coding and making with the Raspberry Pi series of micro computers than is typically covered in the user guide. The author describes both hardware and software aspects in enough detail to support inexperienced users but structured in a way that allows the reader to skip sections.

Pictures are low contrast shades of gray
There is lots of useful information. Pages are OK but the covers are poor quality and arrived curled up at the corners - also not helped by the packaging. The pictures I expected to be in colour consistent with the books website - shades of grey is really not useful. The text is also in shades of gray which makes some areas difficult to read.

Buy this Book!
If you are interested in Linux, simple electronics then I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It will take you from simple beginnings in Linux to sophisticated embedded control. Although it uses the Raspberry Pi as an example, the techniques can be applied to virtually any linux development. If you have a Pi and are wondering what to do with it, get this book. You will not be disappointed

Excellent, High-Quality Book
Excellent book. A lot of good information on embedded Linux, interfacing and having fun with the Raspberry Pi. Much higher quality and with deeper technical content than many other books I have seen. This is a fantastic, practical reference for carrying out embedded projects with the Pi family. Love the analsis of the execution speeds of the different languages, cross-compilation options, etc. Very impressed.

A must for serious raspberry pi developers.
I have done a number of projects using the raspberry pi, and I find this book extremely useful. It contains a great deal of technical detail with good accuracy. I hope it gets updated for Pi4.

Brilliant 6 Star
Concise, Clear and informative, if you want technical in-sight to the Raspberry pi you won't be dissapointed I am writing this as I felt I have my money back by chapter 3, excelent, can't wait to read the rest.

Comprehensive guide
I bought this on a friend’s recommendation prior to my first Raspberry Pi project. That project is now up and running. This book was quite useful in achieving that for a Pi newbie.

Ich besitze mittlerweile sehr viele Bücher zum Thema Raspberry, da ich mehrere parallele Raspi 3B+ Cluster betreibe und jede Menge kleinere und größere Steuerungsaufgaben mit selbstentwickelter Elektronik über Raspis laufen. Daher war/bin ich immer auf der Suche nach weiteren Details. Dieses Buch ist für mich eines der besten zum Raspi überhaupt, weil es neben einer soliden Einführung in das Betriebssystem, die Bedienung sowie Einbindung ins eigene Netzwerk auch einen sehr gut gemachten Einstieg in die elektronischen Spezialitäten und Eigenheiten des Raspis gibt - gleich noch mit Einstieg in die Raspi-spezifische Programmierung der GPIOs und Schnittstellen. Genial! Die Abbildungen sind super gemacht, sehr verständlich und illustrativ. Das Buch bietet tiefergehende Kenntnisse im Bereich Interfacing, Schnittstellen, top erklärt. Und immer bleibt der Fokus auf den Raspi gerichtet und der "Lernwert" selbst mit meiner über 1 1/2-jährigen praktischen Raspi-Erfahrung trotzdem groß. Es macht richtig Spaß sich durch die Themen zu arbeiten. Dieses Werk ist mein ultimatives Raspi-Buch, das den "Kofler, Kühnast, Scherbeck" locker auf den 2. Platz verweist, weil insgesamt auch der Anspruch beim Molloy höher ist, als bei Kofler & Co. Der Molloy wirkt für mich professioneller und wenig verspielt für Leute die mit einem Raspi mehr als nur herumspielen wollen... Ein grandioses Buch! Kann ich jedem, der English versteht und sich ernsthaft mit Raspi beschäftigen möchte, nur ans Herz legen. Best Bang for Your Buck. A must buy!

Professor Molloy gives you an easy approach to understand linux basics using RPI. A great overview in electronics is also given. If you are interested in kernel linux development, this book won't give you deep knowledge on it, except for the last chapter that explains how to create practical LKM (Linux Kernel Modules). Overall a great book for undergrad students searching for real life applications using an embedded system.

Excellent ouvrage, qui traite du Raspberry Pi en profondeur mais le dépasse aussi par ses informations sur Linux et les différents langages de programmation disponibles sur le RPi, ainsi que par son retour aux bases de l'électronique; c'est très bien pour le novice, un peu lassant pour l'utilisateur avancé. Mais il en faut pour tout le monde et on peut facilement sauter les parties sans intérêt. Le site web de l'auteur recèle aussi pas mal de pépites.

Great book with lots of information and code.

Pack with good material from hard experience. Very knowledgeable. Downside is technical details can get obsolete very quickly. Would be a good reference if you are working on a RPi project now!
