Training on Embedded Linux RTOS ARM Device Driver at Mirror Technologies Pvt Ltd - Chennai

Embedded Linux

Embedded Linux is an operating system which is more suitable for embedded systems. Dedicated to a specific task, they are built using several electronic components (microcontrollers, digital signal processors, application-specific integrated circuits, actuators, sensors…) and support specific software and operating systems for control, communication or multimedia tasks. Our program provides a solid understanding and experience on Embedded Linux programming and building embedded Linux for a target system.

This is an extensive program intended at explaining the core concepts of Linux OS and Device Driver Development on Linux OS. And this session is
also intended for providing in-depth knowledge on below listed topics


Operating System Concept
Architecture Linux operating systems
Knowledge on user space and kernel space
Programming HW through C programming Language
BIOS functionalities and boot up sequence
Device Driver Development on both operating systems
Driver compilation procedure and installation of Device Drivers
Driver debugging techniques and available tools

Duration: This program is planned for 4 weeks and minimum 2.00hours in a
day.

Attendees: This program is basically suitable for engineers or programmers
who intended to get more knowledge on hardware based programming along
with debugging capabilities

Pre-requisites:

Sound knowledge of C programming
Knowledge Linux OS internals
Basic H/W device concepts such as memory mapping, port access, device
registers etc
