D5 Embedded GUI

Graphical User Interfaces for Embedded Linux

Graphical User Interfaces for Embedded Linux
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.
  • A Linux PC for two trainees, with an ARM based target board
  • Course material
  • CDROM with documentation and tools used during the trainin
  • Theoretical course
    • PDF course material (in English) supplemented by a printed version.
    • The trainer answers trainees' questions during the training and provide technical and pedagogical assistance.
  • At the start of each session the trainer will interact with the trainees to ensure the course fits their expectations and correct if needed
