9/10/2021 18:04:489Great course.9Great amount of content.9Demos were good and a little quick. I'm behind on the labs but I will see them though to completion.99Thank you Michael9Great knowledge of embedded linux and live demonstrations of labsLabs went quickly but that is understandable given the amount of material covered. Like other students, I will be working on my labs in the coming days. If I have questions I will post them to the element chat. I am glad Michael will continue to support us while we work on the labs after the training sessions have ended.Course contents, Availability of training materials, Management decisionWould have been nice to have a recording of some of the live demos as Michael would add or say things that are not present in the provided documentation. All in all, great job. I'm glad I attended this course.

9/10/2021 18:07:069Great introduction to Embedded linux for a HW(Silicon) developer.8Good introduction to each topic and give clear examples for illustration.9It gives a great idea on how to apply the lecture materials on a real system.8It touches base on most, if not all the topics for embedded linux builds. It is a big challenge to satisfy everyone's need. But the course does a fine job.9The trainer is responsive to the students in a virtual classroom and shows good domain knowledge.9It provides sufficient background for me to explore solutions for me work.Bootloader and RTOSN/ACourse contentsYet to discover

9/10/2021 18:09:1710Great presentation materials for the course10Very useful, especially part with booting process including bootloader, kernel and root filesystem. Also clarifies types of root filesystem including ubi which is the most important for me, because we use it in our company.10Shows examples for everything covered on presentation101010It covered most things we use in our companyBootloader, kernel and root filesystemCourse contents, Availability of training materials

9/10/2021 18:10:359Some breakout rooms and few virtual handson to be tried during the session itself. That might help get more hands-on understanding the practical part as well. On other hand I understand virtual trainings with more technical stuff are always challenging. Probably on my side I should have glanced few topics prior training that would have helped to understand topics quicker during sesion. I can say in short it cannot have been done better than this considering the topic depth. Thank you for your dedication to explain each topic crystal clear with samples. My interest towards Linux has atleast tripled after this training.

Would be glad in stay in touch with you to know more topics and updates improving my learning curve.
98May be to setup some target boards and provide remote access to try out practical labs. Also suggest to make some exercises mandatory and take first few minutes to analyse the results.9Would wish to take to more courses9Definitely top my trainer list with the best training.9U-Boot, PREEMPT_RT and root filesystemNothing Course contents, Availability of training materials, TrainerEmbedded Device driver development

9/10/2021 18:19:5410I really enjoyed the course a great deal.10What I could never decide was whether to just watch the screen, or whether to take notes. In the event, my notes were not always adequate for the labs and I hadn't digested the details well enough either. In places, it would have been very helpful to have had Michael's transcript and copies of the kernel args. But I guess that would have been cheating!10I didn't manage them all during the course, but I did get the audio running by the last day. I intend to continue with the labs on my own when I get some time. I also intend to apply the stuff I've learned to a Zynq board I have (I'm an ASIC/FPGA designer professionally).9In a couple of places, I could have done with some diagrams. In particular, I was rather confused by the "Filesystems - Flash file systems lab". As mentioned above, I wish I'd not tried to take notes and just listened more intently. My mistake.10I'm amazed by Michael's ability to present these labs without getting flustered when things go wrong. I certainly would have done. Bravo!8Simply being able to get the board up from scratch was a great kick.nothingCourse contentsIn general, the course met my aspirations. There are still things I want to learn, but I may well do a further course. But not until I've put what I've learned so far into action.Once I am confident with LInux in general, I want to learn how to handle the HW/SW interface in deviced like Zynq, e.g. interrupts, DMA between HW and SW etc.

9/10/2021 18:21:1710Organization of presentation is excellent. 4 hour segments are perfect - allows enough time to present a lot of information and then lets you have the rest of the time to try and absorb and do labs (as long as real work didn't interfere!)10Useful in that is was an outline and questions can be asked. One drawback is that if a question was posted on Matrix - during lectures the answer was given orally and there is no written record in Matrix (so when going back and re-reading it's like an unanswered question.) Not sure if it's feasible to write the answer in Matrix during a lecture8Not sure. It was good to see that the instructor can get the labs to execute successfully but whatever was done is forgotten by the time I actually got around to doing the labs so I only followed the instructions in the lab notes.10Registration extremely easy. Really like that all information/slides for the course are available prior to the course. This enabled printing the course slides so additional notes can be taken during the lecture. There is a very good balance in the time allotted for lectures. Still a lot of information given. 10Maintains good pace and interacts with us very well! Knows the subject very well (but then I don't know the subject that well) Really good in giving out additional information and the latest news. 10I had no knowledge of building an embedded linux system and now I know the steps. Great instructor and content; other participants asking questions! Lots of help available!getting a bit lost towards the end of the course? It was a lot of new information for me and it didn't help that "real work" demanded my attention after the lectures (so I couldn't review the lecture and work on the labs)Management decisionBootlin was recommended by co-workers who had taken other Bootlin courses. Not sure yet - didn't really go through all the courses that are available but definitely RTOS related topics
