Linux for Embedded Systems - Advanced
Linux for Embedded systems - advanced
This course gives detailed information on Linux in an embedded resource restricted environment as well as deeper knowledge on how to build and install a complete cross development environment for the ARM processor.
Throughout the course the students will be guided and challenged with several hands-on exercises where the student can learn step-by-step how to deploy a new Linux system on a “bare” ARM- based target system. Exercises gives detailed detailed information how to manage on-board FLASH memory devices and how to populate an JFFS2 based root file system as well as RAM disks.
The exercises includes:
- Build a toolchain for the ARM processor
- Kernel configuration and build
- Build and configure the U-boot target boot loader
- Build a utility collection based on BusyBox
- Populate and deploy a root file system on RAM disk and FLASH dedicated for the ARM920T target platform
- Create and manage an automated script based project compilation and build system
Objectives of the course
Upon completion of the course, the students shall have an understanding of the principles of how setup and manage a comprehensive cross development environment for any of the target architectures supported by the Linux kernel.
The student will also have an understanding of how to build and populate a different root file systems with BusyBox generated with build tools for JFFS2 images and RAM disks.
Documentation
The course documentation is written in-house in English. The course can be given in English or Swedish.

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.
