Last summer, we announced the availability of our Embedded Linux course on the BeaglePlay platform.
Today, we are happy to announce the publication of our Linux kernel driver development and Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded system development courses also ported on the BeaglePlay platform.
BeaglePlay is open-source hardware that is backed by a thriving community of developers. The board is based on the Texas Instruments (TI) AM625 processor. It features four Arm® Cortex®-A53 CPUs and diverse peripherals, making it fit for a wide range of embedded systems. TI has a long history of Linux kernel contributions and employs an upstream-first software development philosophy. This makes BeaglePlay an ideal platform for our Linux development courses, which are based on driver and platform support in the mainline Linux kernel.
Additionally, both courses are enhanced with direct feedback and support from Texas Instruments, including for example a new section on Device Tree schemas, covering syntax, how to write them, and how to test them.
The training materials are available today:
- Linux kernel driver development course: slides, lab instructions on BeaglePlay, lab data for BeaglePlay
- Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded development course: agenda, slides, lab instructions on BeaglePlay, lab data for BeaglePlay
Thanks to this, the participants to our training courses are able to run the practical labs on the modern and popular BeaglePlay platform. It is important for us at Bootlin to keep our training courses up-to-date, both in terms of contents and supported hardware platforms.
All 3 training courses, like all our training courses, can be organized on-site at your location, or on-line through video-conferencing. For example, these courses were field tested this year with Texas Instruments engineers at their headquarters.
We’re looking forward to helping more engineers throughout the world get started with Embedded Linux, or expand their Embedded Linux knowledge and expertise thanks to our training courses on BeaglePlay. Contact us if you’re interested!
