This course targets engineers who aim to develop embedded systems based on the Linux operating system.

Gain a detailed overview of the internal structure and functionalities of the Linux operating system, emphasizing its usage in embedded systems, such as cars, cellphones, TVs, etc. Through theory, practical labs, and hands-on examples, you will get familiar with the architecture of an embedded Linux system, and with setting up and configuring the cross-compiling environment for the target embedded system. You will also learn how to take advantage of the open-source components for reducing development costs when implementing system features. Finally, you will be able to understand the basics of how to modify and integrate existing device drivers both with the kernel and the user-space applications and learn how to develop and debug user-space applications in an embedded environment.
