Slide presentation on Linux ARM porting

http://www.slideshare.net/champ_yen/linux-porting-1330569
http://champyen.blogspot.com/2009/04/linux-porting-for-new-arm-platform.html
Seems good @ initial glance - though a few typos are apparent already.

See slide 27 for references to other resources.

Diagrams are nice.

pdftk - useful tool for manipulating PDF documents

PDFBox

There are a number of PDF-to-Excel things available commercially ... one (Nitro) has a demo online but limits filesize input to 10MB :(

devmem2.c

http://www.lartmaker.nl/lartware/port/devmem2.c

devmem2.c, access device registers from userspace Linux

Builds in target machine (or can be cross-compiled)

Run it without params for usage information.

Addresses are Physical.

Prefix with 0x for hex addresses.

This can be wrapped in a script to give multiple register values read out.

Extracting text from PDF file with PDFBox ExtractText command

http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/ExtractText.html

Needs some installation (assuming PDFbox isn't installed already e.g. by your Linux distribution):

SVN pdfbox trunk

apt-get install maven2

mvn clean install

On successful building it, use it like:

usage: java -jar pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText [OPTIONS] [Text file]

e.g.:

rbarraud@thinky:~/Desktop/tools/PDFBox/trunk/app/target$ java -jar pdfbox-app-1.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ExtractText -html /home/rbarraud/Desktop/Reference/pdfs/IMX25RM.pdf /tmp/MX25RM.html

I want to grab tables out of PDF processor reference manuals to make tools for browsing machine state by register names etc.

Perhaps it's time I tried something more effective than this?...

Helps with recursive grep - you can then use

# grep -inH "find_this_expr" **/*.[CcHh]

or similar to recurse into all subdirs.
