• Test, debug, and deploy the Arduino to solve real-world problems.

Buildroot is an open-source project that provides scripts to generate a cross-compilation toolchain, a customizable root filesystem image, and a Linux kernel tailored for embedded devices. In this practical course, participants will learn how to utilize Buildroot to:

• Select software to include in the root filesystem.
• Add new packages and modify existing ones.
• Add support for new embedded boards.

Participants will produce bootable filesystem images during the course. Remote sessions are conducted using the QEMU emulator, while in-person classes allow the use of either QEMU or actual embedded boards chosen by the instructor.

Other projects with similar objectives include the Yocto Project and OpenWRT. Please review these presentations to determine which tool best suits your needs.

Description

This four-day training blends theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to introduce participants to the Yocto Project. It addresses common questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to employ a distinct version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for every GNU/Linux project, along with a different workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains consistent for all developers and suppliers, enabling identical builds in the present and over ten years into the future?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses associated with the packages you utilize?

Hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., BeagleBone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Following the training, participants will receive a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with examples to facilitate working with the course material in their own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course on Embedded GNU/Linux. Attendees should already understand how Embedded GNU/Linux operates, including the configuration and building of the GNU/Linux kernel and kernel drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for individuals who already use GNU/Linux for their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it in depth or faced challenges in using it. If you are unsure about how your daily workflow might fit into the YP and generally find the YP complex, questioning the necessity of its complexity when previous methods were simpler, this training will help you decide whether the YP is suitable for your needs. The workshop targets software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other interested parties with a solid foundation in Embedded GNU/Linux.
