The 2012 edition of the Embedded Linux Conference took place on February 15-17th 2012 at Redwood Shores near San Francisco in California. Three engineers of Bootlin attended this conference, and we reported every day our impressions about the talks, see our blog posts for day 1, day 2 and day 3. We have now taken the time to encode all the videos we have recorded during this event, and are proud to distribute them today.
It is worth noting that for the first time, the Linux Foundation was also recording videos of the talks, the Linux Foundation videos are available from video.linux.com, and we included links to these videos below for the different talks.
We hope that those of you who couldn’t attend the conference will enjoy those videos, with many great talks on technical embedded Linux topics.

thank you for collecting most the slides!
videos are such a waste of time…
Would it be possible to improve the audio quality somehow? Use a remote mike strapped to the speaker maybe? Some of the speakers have heavy accents and reverbing in the hall makes it really difficult to follow what’s being said.
Thank you for taking the time to record this.
Excellent work! Thank you very much.
Slides for “Producing the Embedded License Compliance Patterns and Antipatterns, The Power of SPDX – Sharing Critical Licensing Information Within a Linux Device Supply Chain and Beaglebone and Supporting It” are missing
Thanks for the work.
Slides of Rowand’s real time BoFs aren’t available (the link points to 404 not found).
Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
Michael.
