Embedded Linux Training in Brno

Buildroot is an open-source project that provides scripts to generate a cross-compilation toolchain, a customizable root filesystem image, and a Linux kernel for embedded devices. In this practical course, participants will learn how to leverage Buildroot for the following tasks:

• Selecting the software components included in the root filesystem.
• Adding new packages and modifying existing ones.
• Adding support for new embedded hardware boards.

Throughout the course, participants will produce bootable filesystem images. Remote sessions utilize the QEMU emulator, while in-person classes allow the use of either QEMU or actual embedded boards selected by the instructor.

Other projects with similar objectives include the Yocto Project and OpenWRT. Please review these presentations to help determine which solution best fits your specific needs.

Course Objectives

To provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of embedded GNU/Linux, illustrating how individual components integrate to form a cohesive system. The course addresses the essential components required to construct an embedded GNU/Linux environment, their sources, and the methods for configuring, building, and installing them. It also covers available support resources and software licensing considerations. Through practical, hands-on exercises, participants will gain the necessary experience to confidently develop their own embedded GNU/Linux systems upon successful completion of this training.

Description

This five-day training program combines practical exercises with instructional guidance to demonstrate key concepts in embedded GNU/Linux. It is designed to accelerate your proficiency. The philosophy, core concepts, and essential commands for effective use of GNU/Linux are conveyed through a blend of theoretical instruction and practical, job-oriented training.

Rather than starting from scratch, learn from an experienced trainer and take away a solid working knowledge of GNU/Linux, enabling you to apply it effectively in your own embedded development projects.

Who should attend?

Managers, project managers, software, hardware, development, and systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians, and other professionals interested in the technology, who seek to quickly understand how Embedded GNU/Linux operates. This course is ideal for those who must use GNU/Linux or have the luxury of deciding whether it is the right choice. It is also suitable for individuals who may have previously used Embedded GNU/Linux but are unsure if they followed best practices, or those currently using a different operating system who wish to evaluate if GNU/Linux offers better or more cost-effective alternatives.

Delivery Options

While all training materials are provided in English, the delivery can be conducted in either English or German, according to your preference, anywhere in the world.

• On-site - instructor-led
• Online - instructor-led
• On-site/online hybrid - instructor-led

This two-day course features approximately 60% hands-on labs focused on Embedded Linux kernel internals, architecture, and development. Participants will explore methods for writing and integrating various types of device drivers.

Who should attend?

Engineers interested in Linux kernel development for embedded systems and platforms.

This is a two day course covering all basic principles of building Embedded linux Systems, around 60% of the entire course time is practical hands-on implementation for real world application using the same standards and tools used in industry

Description

This five-day training course blends hands-on exercises with instructional guidance to illustrate the principles of GNU/Linux kernel internals and device driver development. The curriculum is structured to accelerate your proficiency. Through a mix of theoretical foundations and practical application, we cover the processes, concepts, and commands essential for writing GNU/Linux device drivers.

Avoid reinventing the wheel; instead, gain insights from an experienced trainer and leave with actionable knowledge and the ability to apply it effectively in your own embedded development projects.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for individuals interested in or responsible for developing or evaluating GNU/Linux device drivers, including software engineers, field engineers, (project) managers, and hardware engineers.
