This two-day course comprises approximately 60% practical labs, concentrating on Embedded Linux kernel internals, architecture, development, and exploring methods to create and integrate various types of device drivers.

Who should attend?

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

Develop embedded Linux systems from scratch using industry-standard cross-development tools and practical projects. This two-day programme explores Linux history, open-source development models, bootloaders, custom system construction, build systems, and application debugging. With 60% hands-on implementation, participants will configure bootloaders, compile toolchains, construct filesystems, and perform real-world embedded Linux development tasks.

This training programme aims to introduce C++ as the standard extension for implementing object-oriented development in embedded systems. Because C++ encompasses C, this course facilitates a smooth transition from C to C++, while also exploring the underlying implementation mechanisms of C++. This understanding is particularly crucial when deploying C++ within the resource-constrained environments typical of embedded systems. The C++ standard has recently undergone a significant update, known as C++11, with C++14 following closely. This course covers key features introduced by these revisions that are highly beneficial, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and bare-metal programming that interacts closely with the hardware.

GOALS AND BENEFITS

The primary objective of this course is to equip you with the skills to use C++ in a 'correct' and effective manner.

• Understand various memory management strategies, with a specific focus on move semantics introduced in C++11
• Examine the underlying mechanics to understand how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code
• Leverage templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-proximate programming (such as memory-mapped I/O and interrupts), including the use of variadic templates introduced in C++11
• Explore useful design patterns, particularly those applicable to embedded contexts
• Engage in practical exercises to reinforce conceptual understanding
