Embedded Linux Security training: materials available, new sessions open

Back in April 2026, we announced our brand new Embedded Linux Security training course, prepared by Bootlin engineers Olivier Benjamin and Mathieu Dubois-Briand.

We are happy to be sharing a number of updates regarding this training: feedback from the first sessions, availability of complete training materials, and new public sessions being available end of 2026.

First sessions

We already delivered the first two sessions of this training course: a first training course in-person in Spain in partnership with EBV, and a second training on-line to one of our customers in the US. The participant feedback from the very first session is already available online, as it is for all our sessions. Overall the main feedback is that the amount of information provided requires more time, and we have consequently adjusted the training for its in-person format so that it is given over 4 days instead of 3 days. We’re generally happy with the feedback received and we will continue to look at feedback to upcoming sessions to improve further this new training course.

Training materials

After our first two successful sessions, we polished the training materials, and published them, under an open-source license, like all our other training materials. They are available from the Embedded Linux Security training page:

• Slides
• Practical lab instructions, for i.MX93 FRDM
• Lab data, for i.MX93 FRDM

Also, the full source code of the training materials is available in our Github repository.

Public sessions in 2026

We had already scheduled multiple public sessions of this new training course, but they ended being full very quickly: our 5 public sessions in June, July, September and October are all full. So we have opened 2 new sessions in November and December:

• November 30 to December 4 from 1 PM to 5 PM UTC+1, taught by Olivier Benjamin. Register online now to book your seat.
• December 7 to December 11 from 2 PM to 6 PM UTC+1, taught by Mathieu Dubois-Briand. Register online now to book your seat.

Each session can host a maximum of 12 participants, and they are likely to be full soon. If you are interested, we recommend that you book your seat soon!
