Abstract

After going over some specialized distributions of Linux for the Tinker Board, it's time to return to where this book began: TinkerOS. This time around, we're going to be applying the Linux, GPIO, and programming skills that we gained in the first part of the book. The first project that we'll tackle is an Internet-connected display with an e-Paper module that will show the current date, time, and weather.
