Installing Linux on an embedded system is a common yet often difficult task. Many Open Source tools are supposed to make things easier, but must be properly controlled to obtain satisfactory results. This training presents you the most common of these tools (crosstool-NG, buildroot, OpenEmbedded, Yocto, System Workbench for Linux ...) and how to use them. The problems due to porting the u-boot bootloader and implementing a Linux BSP are also discussed as well as a porting methodology.

Installing Linux on an embedded system is a common yet often difficult task. Ac6 System Workbench was designedis to make things easier and to be easily extended. This training presents you the architecture and needs of an Embedded Linux platform and explains how to build it using Sysetm Workbench for Linux. The problems due to porting the u-boot bootloader and implementing a Linux BSP are also discussed as well as a porting methodology.

Installing Linux on an embedded system is a common yet often difficult task. The Yocto project is meant to make things easier, but must be properly controlled to obtain satisfactory results. This training presents you the architecture and needs of an Embedded Linux platform and explains how to build it using Yocto. The problems due to porting the u-boot bootloader and implementing a Linux BSP are also discussed as well as a porting methodology.

This course covers the various techniques needed to write Linux (2.6 and 3.x) drivers, bus management (PCI. ..), hot-plug and auto-configuration of devices as well as the specific problems due to multi-core and advanced processors.

This course presents the various solutions for a real-time Linux and the tools to measure real-time performances

This course delves into the concepts of Linux drivers interaction with power management features of the Linux kernel.

This course details the Linux driver model, the USB hotplug and power management architecture to write USB host (client) drivers as well as gadget drivers.

Installing Android on a new platform is a complex process; you need to port first the Linux kernel then install the Android platform. Even if using an existing Android Open Source Platform, the process to create an usable image is quite complex. This course will explain all the required steps, from building the kernel and the platform from source code to tailoring the boot process and creating test applications.

Android was designed to allow quickly creating powerful and ergonomic interfaces for embedded, resource constrained, systems; however, due to th elimitations of the underlying hardware, Android applications are totally different from standard applications. This course will explain how they are structured and how Android allows to combine portability and performance in applications.

Installing Android on a new platform is a complex process requiring a deep understanding of the internals of the Android frameworks and the Hardware Abstraction Layer. This course explains how the frameworks are structured and can be adapted to a platform on which a basic Android port already exist.

New industrial systems need sophisticated and ergonomic user interfaces. Building these with traditional GUI toolkits may be cumbersome and difficult. Android may simplify these tasks, allowing industrial application developers to benefit from the tools developped for consumer electronics devices.

This course covers the installation and use of Qt to make embedded GUIs
