Embedded Linux course/workshop

Want to develop for or build an Embedded Linux system from scratch in five days? This is the course you need!

This course is perfect for those wanting to develop for or build an Embedded Linux system from scratch or commercial embedded Linux solutions.

In this course,

  • we start by looking at the various components of an embedded Linux target, development choices and debugging possibilities;
  • we learn to use the most common buildsystems: Buildroot and Yocto.
  • we take a more detailed look at the Linux kernel architecture: important issues such as cross compilation and building of the most important components;
  • we finish by some more specific subjects of your choice (such as Real Time Linux, QT development, ... ).

Delivered as a live, interactive training: available in-person or online, or in a hybrid format.

Training method

Classical education with practical exercises. During this course all participants will have the opportunity to build and experiment with an ARM-based Embedded Linux board. After the course, the participants can take the board with them to continue experimenting.

Certificate

At the end of the session, the participant receives a 'Certificate of Completion'.

Duration

5 days.

Course leader

Linux Belgium.
