About Introduction to Linux for Embedded Developers
Linux is becoming a leader in embedded operating systems. This two-day course will teach enough of the basics to get a quick start for a developer already familiar with other operating systems. Attendees will build a cross-compiled embedded system using Linux as both development platform and target, and run it under an emulator. Attendees will bring their own laptops, capable of booting from a CD. Live CDs will be provided containing all course material, exercises, useful software and a complete Linux distribution.
The course will suit developers who are competent computer users and have some programming experience, but who are not necessarily familiar with Linux. The course is focused on developing skills applicable to embedded Linux, and on the tools available in and for that environment. The basic concepts however are applicable to any Linux environment (and indeed to Unix as well).
Course Topics
- The Bourne Shell
- Booting and Initialising
- Linux Editors (vi, emacs)
- Linux File system Standard
- A Tour of the Linux Kernel Sources
