During the five days of this training, the participants will learn the fundamentals of embedded Linux programming, starting from the very basics of the technology and terminology, through setting up a development environment and operating system, to the programming itself. This training focuses on ARM, MIPS and PowerPC architectures, and covers the practical topics related to embedded programming, such as most interesting applications, anatomy of a SoC device, crucial peripheral devices and solving common problems. During workshop and exercises, the participants use BeagleBone Black Industrial 4G minimodules (in case of on-demand training, the customer can choose any other minimodule to use).

Duration

5 days
