Jump right into the pro-level guts of the Raspberry Pi with complete schematics and detailed hardware explanations as your guide. You´ll tinker with runlevels, reporting voltages and temperatures, and work on a variety of project examples that you can tune for your own project ideas..

This book is fully updated for the latest Pi boards with three chapters dedicated to GPIO to help you master key aspects of the Raspberry Pi. You´ll work with Linux driver information and explore the different Raspberry Pi models, including the Pi Zero, Pi Zero W, Pi 2, Pi3 B and Pi3 B+. You´ll also review a variety of project examples that you can tune for your own project ideas. Other topics covered include the 1-Wire driver interface, how to configure a serial Linux console, and cross-compile code, including the Linux kernel.

You´ll find yourself turning to Advanced Raspberry Pi over and over again for both inspiration and reference. Whether you´re an electronics professional, an entrepreneurial maker, or just looking for more detailed information on the Raspberry Pi, this is exactly the book for you.
What You´ll Learn

Master I2C and SPI communications from Raspbian Linux in C

Program USB peripherals, such as a 5-inch LCD panel with touch control and the Pi camera

Study GPIO hardware, the sysfs driver interface and direct access from C programs

Use and program the UART serial device.
Who This Book Is For

"This book gives lots of important technical and practical explanations, examples, code listings, and advice; for those working with Pi, it seems to be a compulsory and mandatory book. Obviously, this book is for advanced users ... . It is a fantastic guide for those who want to discover all the secrets and confirm that their way of using Pi is right. ... The book is worth recommending and worth every penny." (Dominik Strzalka, Computing Reviews, April 11, 2019)

Warren Gay has been an electronics enthusiast since childhood and often dragged discarded TV sets home after school. In high school he learned to program the IBM-1130 and then pursued a career in software development at Ryerson Polytechnical, in Toronto. Since then he has worked professionally for over 30 years, mainly in C/C++, under Unix and Linux. Meanwhile, the love of electronics has never faded since the early creation of his home-brewed Intel 8008 system in the 70´s to the present day projects employing the Raspberry Pi. Warren also holds an advanced amateur radio license and was able to work the Mir space station (U2MIR) using packet radio in August 1991.He´s authored other books including Sams Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours, Linux Socket Programming by Example, and Advanced Unix Programming.
