5-day online training
Kernel driver for embedded Linux
Events
In this 5-day course you will learn how to use embedded Linux and you will be able to develop software for it.
All exercises are carried out directly on the AM335x embedded board. The participants receive the embedded board and the USB hard drive with Linux installation, which was used in the seminar. This means that what you have learned can also be reproduced exactly after the seminar.
The corresponding modules can also be booked individually.
To the speaker
Andreas Klinger, IT Klinger
has been a trainer and developer in the field of system-related software development with a focus on driver development, embedded Linux and real-time since 1998. As a Linux specialist, he deals with the internal structure of the kernel, the system mechanisms and, above all, their use in embedded systems.
In 2011, 2014 and 2018 it was honored with the Speaker Award Audience Award from visitors to the Embedded Software Engineering Congress. He has proven his expertise with a whole series of specialist articles in electronics practice and in the ESE report, as well as with a whole series of commits for the Linux kernel.
Requirements
- Participants can create simple programs on Linux
- Safe handling of the shell
- good programming skills in C
- If you only want to book certain modules, you should be familiar with the content of the previous modules
