Linux Kernel Internals - Course Overview
The Linux Kernel Internals Course will enable you to write Linux system programs and applications by making use of system calls.Starting with OS concepts, this course will deep dive into process, memory, networking, IPC mechanisms of Linux.
The Linux Operating System has established number one position in Embedded Systems due to many reasons, one of them being robust Kernel design. This course on Linux Kernel Internals will take you through a hands-on and exciting journey.
Currently most of the embedded systems are built over an operating system due to performance requirements and the resource complexity. This adds responsibility to developers to understand the OS capabilities in form of system calls – Interfaces, API’s and system calls.
This course gives hands-on perspective on various Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms like Pipes, FIFO, Shared Memory, TCP/IP Socket programming and multithreading using pThread APIs. By the end of the module you will be able to implement a multi-tasking or multi-threading application by understanding the internal aspects of Linux.

Linux device driver kit is one of the key innovations that our team has brought in the field of education. Learning device drivers is considered to be a challenging affair due to lack of proper hardware, documentation and self-learning ecosystem that consist of sample code and projects. Our team has come up with a self-learning device that addresses these limitations by bundling unique combination of hardware, software and documentation. This kit can also be used as a micro-controller kit for IoT programming by changing modes. Recently this kit related technical paper was presented in Open Source India conference, which can be accessed by clicking here. In summary you can learn device drivers like a breeze using this kit.
Definitely. Self-learning kits can be purchased by anybody interested in self-learning. Request you visit self-learning kits in the web-site, choose the kit that matches your need. In each section we have provided simple ‘How to order’ section using which kits can be purchased at ease.
