Graphical User Interfaces for Embedded Linux
formateur
Objectives
  • Understand the different layers associated with the graphic interface system
  • Learn how to use the Linux frame buffer
  • Discover the hardware abstraction layers
  • Learn to use the main graphical toolkits (widgets) taretting embedded Linux
    • QT
    • FLTK
    • WxEmbedded
    • MiniGUI
    • ...
  • Learn how to link commands to GUI elements
Labs are conducted on target boards, that can be:
    Atmel ARM9-based boards, with Lauterbach JTAG probes.
We use the last linux kernel, as delivered on www.kernel.org.

Labs are conducted using the System Workbench for Linux - Basic Edition IDE.
