Hey,
I want to start moving into the world of micro controller systems design (0 experience), eventually, and hopefully quickly, moving up into designing with ARM9 style processors that will run full versions of Linux.
Ultimately, I want to be able to design micro computers similar to the RaspberryPI from the ground up.
I was recommended the AT91SAM9260 from ATMEL for my design but I don't know what I would be looking for in the processor. My first project would just need to handle: 2 usb, 2 RS-485, 1 10/100 Ethernet, SD card storage, and a vga screen (dvi in addition if possible)
Can anyone suggest any books/websites that could help me figure out what I need to know to make the chip function with a full version of Linux?
