Embedded Linux Training in Santa Fe

Buildroot is an open-source project that contains scripts that produce a cross-compilation toolchain, a customizable root filesystem image, and a Linux kernel for embedded devices. During this practical course, participants will learn how to use it:

• How to select software that goes into the root filesystem.
• How to add new packages and modify existing ones.
• How to add support for new embedded boards.

During the course, bootable filesystem images will be produced. Remote courses are delivered using the QEMU emulator, while in the classroom it is possible to use either QEMU or real embedded boards of the trainer's choice.

Other projects with similar goals include the Yocto project and OpenWRT. Please use these presentations to determine which one is the right choice for your needs.

Course Objectives

To provide an understanding of the essentials of embedded GNU/Linux, how the bits and pieces fit together. What components are needed to build an embedded GNU/Linux system, where to get them from and how to configure/build/install them? Where to get help from? What about those software licenses? Hands-on exercises provide you with the necessary practical experience to go ahead and develop your own embedded GNU/Linux systems after completing this training successfully.

Description

This five day training class uses hands-on exercises combined with instruction to illustrate the concepts of embedded GNU/Linux. It is designed to bring you quickly up to speed. The philosophy, concepts and commands necessary to make effective use of GNU/Linux are described through a combination of theory and on-the-job training.

Don't reinvent the wheel, but learn from an experienced trainer and take home a working knowledge of GNU/Linux and the ability to use it effectively in your own embedded development project.

Who should attend?

Managers, project managers, software-, hardware-, development-, systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians and other parties interested in the technology, who want to understand as quickly as possible how Embedded GNU/Linux works. You must use GNU/Linux or you have to luxury to decide whether it makes sense to use it or not. Maybe you already tried to use Embedded GNU/Linux, but are not quite sure that you did everything the right way. You currently use a different operating system and wand to figure out whether GNU/Linux might better and/or cheaper.

Delivery Options

All the training material is English, but the presentation of it can be in English or in German, as you wish, worldwide.

• on-site - instructor driven
• on-line - instructor driven
• on-site/on-line combination - instructor driven

A two day course consisting of around 60% hands-on labs focusing on Embedded Linux kernel internals, architecture, development and investigating how to write and integrate several types of device drivers.

Who should attend?

Engineers interested in Linux kernel development on Embedded systems and plateforms.

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

In this instructor-led, live training in Santa Fe participants will learn step-by-step how to build an embedded Linux system from the ground up. From building a minimalistic kernel to configuring the bootup and initialization processes, participants will learn the tools, techniques and mindset needed to deploy a fully functional embedded Linux system.

For remote trainings, QEMU will be used to emulate the hardware. Other platforms, including real hardware devices, can be considered on a case by case basis.

Description

This 5-day training class uses hands-on exercises combined with instruction to illustrate the concepts of GNU/Linux kernel internals and device driver development. It is desinged to bring you quickly up to speed. We describe processes, concepts and commands necessary to write GNU/Linux device drivers through a combination of theory and on-the-job training.

Don't reinvent the wheel, but learn from an experienced trainer and take home a working knowledge and the ability to use it effectively in your own embedded development project.

Who should attend?

People with interest in or tasked with the development or evaluation of developing GNU/Linux device drivers like software engineers, field engineers, (project) managers, hardware engineers.

The LEDE Project (Linux Embedded Development Environment) is a Linux operating system based on OpenWrt. It is a complete replacement for the vendor-supplied firmware of a wide range of wireless routers and non-network devices.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to set up a LEDE based wireless router.

Audience

• Network administrators and technicians

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This instructor-led, live training in Santa Fe (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to implement NetApp ONTAP.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up and administer ONTAP 9.3 Cluster (3 days).
• Safeguard data through Data Protection technologies (2 days).

In this instructor-led, live training in Santa Fe, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on Yocto Project.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts behind a Yocto Project build system, including recipes, metadata, and layers.
• Build a Linux image and run it under emulation.
• Save time and energy building embedded Linux systems.
