Embedded Linux on ARM - Course Overview
Bring-up and port Linux in your target hardware. Transition yourself from a Linux Programmer to Embedded Systems Programmer.
The Linux Operating System has emerged as numero-uno when it comes to Embedded Systems. Open Source code and customizable are two major reasons for its success. In our Embedded Linux on ARM course you will be learning about how to customize and bring up Linux on an ARM based Embedded Platform from scratch.
This course will give hands-on perspective about various key aspects of Linux customization and porting. Starting with leveraging Open Source for your product development, this course will further deep dive into embedded booting process and u-boot. Further it will focus on Kernel customization and tuning for embedded devices.
As a reference platform ARM based board will be used. Hence it will be covering understanding ARM architecture and board schematics. By the end of this program you will be able to customize and bring up an Embedded Linux on your own and port your applications as well.

Embedded Linux on ARM - Courses - FAQs
We are pretty sure you will have a lot of questions before joining our courses. Here are the frequently asked questions for your reference. In case you still have anything specific write to us at training@emertxe.com
The Linux device drivers (intermediate) course is to provide developers a kick-start with device drivers. It covers essential parts of driver development, but it doesn’t talk about advanced aspects like network drivers, platform drivers, file-systems drivers etc. In the advanced course it covers such topics to provide you with a complete device driver development exposure. By taking up advanced course you will get comprehensive knowledge about device drivers. Such approach makes us the best institute in India to learn advanced Linux device drivers course.
driver development happens inside the Kernel, doing effective debugging plays a crucial part. Sine we are introducing advanced topics of device drivers in the course, it will remain incomplete if developers are not aware how to troubleshoot / fix issues. Hence a variety of hands-on topics introduced under the debugging techniques (Querying, Printing, Watching, Tracing etc…) which in combination provides power tools & techniques that will help you in real time problem solving.
We understand target audience will have different level of understanding about Linux drivers. It is our best interest to deliver the workshop where the whole class can benefit. If you already have some idea, it will be an added advantage to grasp workshop contents better. During hands-on session we will specifically provide some advanced aspects of drivers (ex: USB) for you to practice and build deeper skills. I already have some idea about device drivers. How does this workshop help me?
