The Android operating system, developped by Google and based on the Linux kernel, is used more and more frequently not only on smartphones but also for dedicated embedded devices, notably in the "Machine to Machine" market.

ac6-training  proposes trainings on the porting of the operating system on your board and its tailoring to your specific needs, as well as creating embedded applications running on the Android system.

With ac6 training, you’ll learn Embedded Linux for industrial and IoT devices—from boot to user space. We walk you through the full path: U-Boot/TF-A → Linux kernel → device tree → root filesystem, cross-compiling for Arm, RISC-V, and x86, and bringing new boards to life quickly and repeatably.

Our lineup matches real project needs: Embedded Linux, Embedded Linux using Yocto, Yocto Project Development, Yocto Project Expert, Comprehensive Yocto Usage, Linux User-Mode Programming, and Linux Drivers. Together, these tracks take you from application basics to BSP creation, driver work, and production workflows.

Hands-on labs cover kernel configuration, device-tree editing, driver scaffolding, systemd and BusyBox, debugging with gdb/strace/perf/ftrace, networking, security (SELinux/AppArmor, dm-verity), real-time options (PREEMPT_RT), and OTA updates with SWUpdate. We also work with vendor BSPs like OpenSTLinux for STM32MP. You finish with reproducible builds, clean logs, and a deployment-ready checklist.

As any other computer application, embedded systems must be tailored to the operating system they are running on. Furthermore the, usually quite specific, environment in which these systems will execute often require them to be adapted to their hardware environment.

ac6-training provides trainings to help you create embedded systems using a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) but also to tailor this RTOS to your needs if you have to.

What is Zephyr?

Zephyr is an open-source RTOS specifically designed for embedded systems and IoT. Drawing on the strengths of Linux and tailored for microcontrollers, it enables you to write portable applications across multiple vendor platforms thanks to its build system, Kconfig, and devicetree.

Many built-in drivers speed up development by providing support for a wide range of peripherals out of the box. With Zephyr, developers can focus on building applications without worrying about porting or rewriting low-level code.

Our Zephyr training courses help you master the ecosystem—covering the device tree, the device driver model, and everything that sets Zephyr apart from other real-time operating systems.

L'écriture de drivers (ou pilotes de périphériques) est une activité très importante, et souvent critique, en environnement embarqué.

Nous proposons des cours adaptés aux spécificités du développement de drivers en environnement embarqué, avec des exercices utilisant, chaque fois que nécessaire, des environnement de développement croisés et des cartes cibles industrielles.
