52The instructor could take a different approach with more time taken to explain the concepts thoroughly and to more interact with the audience to see that people could follow.
In the current approach, the theory was given too much in a hurry, and the real understanding came only by doing the labs.		355434The pronunciation of English of the teacher could be better. It happened that it took some time before some terms were understood.3For the moment, it's not clear if we will actually will have to do linux development.3Not applicable - My management made the decisionFree Electrons chosen by my managementNot interestedWhen the instructor interacted while doing the labs, it was very helpful, but it could be done earlier in the lab. Too much time was lost because concepts were not clear at the start of a lab, and a lot of self-study was needed.5444From less than 100 km / 60 miles

Do not let the people search to long. Example: searching function printing linux version took us more than 30 minutes. Maybe add in session: try to search 5 times for it, and if you didn't find, turn the page and execute this and go further ==> time reduction + maybe extra pratical lab is possible.		5U-boot, starting up a board without linux on processor, ddr2 calibration4Availability for on-site sessions, Not applicable - My management made the decisionFree Electrons chosen by my managementLinux board support package development, Boot time reduction, Power management, Development of real-time systems, Root filesystem development, Bug fixing4543From less than 100 km / 60 miles

12/8/2017 13:24:223I miss an overview of what sort of driver structures are used for which application. We have seen:
* platform driver
* bus driver
* examples like i2c-driver

but there are a lot more types of drivers:
* network drivers
* iio drivers
* ...

I miss some kind of overview of different types of drivers

12/8/2017 13:34:163The duration was ok for me, but I would have liked it a bit more spread over time (for example: 2 days a week instead of 5 days in a row). 4There is a lot of information in the document. What I missed when example code was given was the file/directory in which the example code could used. I also missed a (graphical) overview of all the files used to create a device driver from scratch.43I did not doubt the knowledge of the instructor but I think that he could still improve in giving lectures. To make it more dynamic/interactive.4543Sometimes I felt a bit 'lost' during the practical labs. I think a graphical overview of files/directories and there relation could really help in understanding the lectures better. 254Embedded Linux in general
4Nunchuk and serial port driver. Locking mechanisms.

12/8/2017 13:35:143Split course into 2 periodsLabs ok, Presentation unsufficient insight and overview of a complete system/concepts... some basics on dts and bsp would be interesting3I missed a general example where the different items where explained with and consequences.... A "live" demonstration during the sessions would be much more comprehensive.4I am convinced he is an expert in his domain but to bring over the message, I missed the interaction with the audience, e.g. live demonstration2- He read/presented his slides... No links/bridges to previous handled items were given. It was more an enumeration of topics... no red line4443I learned a lot but will need intense review of content and review an example from scratch, starting from HW board towards creating kernel and development basic drivers to test HW. I am HW development engineer which needs testing the HW before SW team starts. So prequalification of the HW before handling over to the SW team, performed by an HW engineer would shorten the verification phase of the HW. Otherwise it is often a ping-pong between both parties.3333Availability for on-site sessionsFree Electrons chosen by my managementLinux board support package developmentIf asked44They were essential as the theory slides remained too vagueDifficult as the concepts were missing in theory, so theory/concept became more clear during labs, making them difficult, but mandatory to make this course useful44OKFrom less than 100 km / 60 miles

12/8/2017 13:41:2545 consecutive days is too long, it would be better to spread over 5 weeks, 1 day per week. This way, we study the theory, ask questions about it, let it sink and understand it much better.The theoretical part did not provide inside in the concepts, it was rather a listing of existing functions and how to call them. This is very unfortunate, because concepts are remembered much longer and one can work much more efficiantly.3No concepts explained, I am missing the context.4I can't really know for sure, he knows a lot more about it than me!2Just reading the slides, no interaction with the public, no concepts explained. Maybe a detail: level of English sometimes not good enough.453See above, 5 days in a row is not good.
Better to spread over 5 weeks.		3Missing the concepts!4As a VHDL/FW developper, I will probably be involved in projects with Altera SoC or Xilinx Zync components.443the labsthe theoryNot applicable - My management made the decisionFree Electrons chosen by my managementDevelopment of real-time systems, Technology and architecture consultingHe answers to the questions we ask54Labs were a lot better than the theory, but since we don't know much of the concepts, I wonder what I will remember.Sometimes I didn't have the impression I was programming, but rather glueing things together.
On the other hand, the lab documents are a good guide, maybe they even will be helpful when doing actual development work.		44Maybe some time of the labs could be used for the theoretical part.From less than 100 km / 60 miles
