Embedded Free BSD Cookbook is written by Paul Cevoli, an experienced embedded systems engineer. The FreeBSD operating system has become a popular OS choice for embedded systems due to its small size and the fact that it is free to users. The author provides solutions aimed at making life easier for engineers working with FreeBSD.

The core software provided to the reader on the accompanying CD-ROM is written in C. Each chapter discusses basic components of FreeBSD, device drivers, Unix kernel, and C and GNU development tools, and provides the reader with the information needed to accomplish the stated task, along with sample source code.
