How to start learning Embedded Linux?

Post by StevenSwift »

I want to start learning Embedded Linux but I’m confused about the right order.
Should I begin with Linux basics and shell scripting, or jump into cross-compilation and Buildroot/Yocto?geometry dash When should kernel, device tree, and driver development come into the picture?
Also, is it better to start with real hardware (Raspberry Pi / BeagleBone) or with QEMU?
Looking for advice from people who’ve already gone through this path.
