Embedded Linux is where the software meets the system. In this embedded Linux application module, you’ll bring together everything you’ve learned—Linux commands, C programming, and hardware interfaces—to build real, production-grade systems. If you’re looking to master Linux embedded applications, this course gives you hands-on experience on actual boards and simulators.
General-purpose Linux and embedded Linux application development are two different worlds. Embedded Linux demands deep system knowledge—kernel config, memory footprints, cross-compilation, and more. This course bridges that gap and helps you think like an embedded OS engineer.

All sessions are pre-recorded for self-paced flexibility, with hardware (BeagleBone Black) or simulator (QEMU) options. Each module builds toward your ability to deploy a fully functional embedded Linux application from scratch.
For many students, this module is their “aha” moment—the first time everything clicks into a working system. Our alumni now work on embedded products across automation, IoT, and telecom industries.
