3 days, full time Training on

Embedded Linux on ARM

We conducted this training course in October 2007. Now it’s enhanced version will be offered in Jan.2008 (Pune) and in Feb.2008 (Chennai and Delhi). The information below was applicable to the course conducted in October 2007. Click here to see details of similar course to be conducted in 2008.

This 3 days, full time training course will teach you how to develop Linux based applications for ARM micro-controllers, with live illustrations on a Single Board Computer (SBC9302: based on 200 MHz ARM9 micro-controller).

Course duration: 3 days

Timing: 09:30 to 17:30

Target audience:

Anyone who wants to develop Linux based applications on ARM micro-controllers.

Features like Graphical User Interface (GUI), TCP/IP networking, USB, Flash file system are needed in more and more embedded products. Using Linux as OS is a very good way to quickly add these features in your product (assuming your ARM target hardware is adequate). But writing Linux based applications is quite different from writing stand-alone, no OS applications. If you want to start using embedded Linux, this course is for you.

One of the biggest advantages of Linux is that it is an open source OS available under GPL, which means you don’t have to pay royalty when you sell your product. No wonder, Linux is #1 choice as an embedded operating system for ARM micro-controllers.

Even if you have never used Linux, this course will give you enough confidence to start your Linux based application on ARM and enough understanding to complete it successfully. Intended audience includes software / firmware / hardware developers, project leaders and project managers.

Prerequisites:

You should have some experience of C programming. Familiarity with ARM micro-controllers maybe some advantage. Familiarity with Linux is not necessary.

What will you learn in this 3 days course:

This course includes lectures and presentations. Actual applications will be illustrated using a Single Board Computer (SBC9302). It has ARM9 processor @ 200 MHz, 8 MB Flash, 32 MB RAM and interfaces like Ethernet, USB host, USB device, PC104, SD-Card, UART and many more. Topics covered include:

· Introduction to Linux

· What is Embedded Linux?

· Development tools required for ARM/Linux applications.

· My first Linux application on ARM: “Hello world!”

· Linux Kernel architecture and configuration.

· File system support.

· USB host interface and it’s applications (for example, data logging on pen-drive).

· PC104 interface and accessing PC104 compatible digital and analog I/O cards.

· Introduction to Ethernet and TCP/IP.

· Introduction to Internet applications (FTP, Email, web-server…)

Following applications will be illustrated during the course:

· Accessing mass storage device (pen-drive).

· Accessing USB keyboard / mouse.

· GSM/GPRS modem application (send/receive SMS etc.)

· Ethernet networking (FTP).

· Accessing port pins (blink LED).

· Accessing PC/104 I/O card.

· More…

Deliverables:

All participants will receive following tangible deliverables at the end of course.

· CD set to install Linux and development tools on desktop computer. (Note: This is not SPJ product and it is given on “as is” basis with no obligations).

· CD containing most of the above applications in source code form. You may use these as foundation to build your own applications.

Besides, 2 months free technical support related to this training course will be available to all participants (by email only).

Training fee:

Standard fee: Rs.12,000/-

This fee includes Lunch and Tea during the training program.

Most participants of this training are also likely to purchase the SBC9302, so that they can start implementing Linux based applications on this 200 MHz ARM9 Single Board Computer.
