Learn to build custom embedded Linux systems from scratch. This Embedded Linux Training guides participants to build Linux OS for embedded systems through bootloader and kernel configuration, cross-compilation, and root filesystem creation for embedded platforms.
Course overview
This course provides a solid foundation in embedded Linux development, covering both theory and practice. Participants will learn how embedded Linux systems can be built using manual tools, understand how these systems differ from standard Linux systems, how to configure the OS components based on hardware reference manuals.
Objectives
- Building basic embedded Linux OS for a target board
- Embedded Linux architecture and components
- Cross-compilation toolchains and build systems
- U-Boot bootloader configuration and compilation
- Linux kernel configuration and compilation
- Filesystem setup and init systems
- Debugging and boot process analysis
Not currently included
- Device driver development or integration
- Interfacing the hardware and using communication protocols
