Android for System Engineers is a full covering course that in depth covers everything from the build system and Android's fundamental components to the Linux kernel and how new drivers can be added.
The course discusses the components and libraries that form the Android platform. The IPC model and the way the platform exposes native code through JNI are covered. We discuss the GNU tool chain used for building the Android platform and its different tools.
The participants will learn about the boot sequence and how you configure and build the Linux kernel for Android. An introduction to Linux drivers in general and how new hardware functionality can be added is included in the material. The course also covers how porting of existing drivers and the development of new ones can be made for Android.

Enea offers comprehensive training services for developers who want to get up to speed quickly and maximize their productivity with Enea’s operating system, middleware, and database products.
At Enea, we have many years of experience in developing and offering courses and seminars in our areas of competence and expertise. In effect, this means courses in the latest technologies, because we strive to remain at the cutting edge of technology. For example, we were the first to hold courses in UNIX, C++ and Java for embedded systems.
The majority of our courses are developed in-house, and our consultants are the instructors. This guarantees that the level of the courses remains high, since we teach in the areas in which we are working. The content of our courses reflects our competence and we can therefore offer a broad range of advanced technical courses within the technological scopes of all our Technology Areas – from hardware and various programming languages to testing and project management, for example.
Our Training offer includes both standard courses, which are described in our course catalogue; and customized courses, developed and held on request. Training can also be included as part of an assignment where we develop a system for testing, communication and real-time applications, for example, and then train the customer in the programming language we have used in the development.
In addition to the courses, we also offer seminars. These are held
as scheduled breakfast or lunch seminars, generally covering on
exciting new areas of technology. In addition a number of more in-depth
seminars may be held on request.
