DESCRIPTION:This 4-day technical training course provides advanced training
  in the development of Embedded Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs)\, Devi
 ce Drivers and Distributions. The first part of the course focuses on BSP 
 and Software Development Kit (SDK) development in an Embedded Linux contex
 t with a focus on application performance measurement and improvement. The
  latter part of the course covers Embedded Linux Device Driver development
  including key device driver decisions and deployment considerations for E
 mbedded Linux BSPs.\n\nAgenda: \nWho Should Attend: The course is designed
  for real-time engineers who are developing Embedded Linux BSPs and Device
  Drivers for Embedded Linux distributions. It is also targeted at experien
 ced developers requiring a refresher course on Linux BSP and Device Driver
  development. Course Objective: To gain an understanding of the complexiti
 es of BSP and SDK development and their uses in Embedded Linux systems. To
  provide a basic understanding of the Linux I/O Subsystem and the Device D
 river Models provided with Embedded Linux distributions. To gain an in-dep
 th understanding of character-based device drivers in Embedded Linux To un
 derstand key device driver subsystems including relatively slow I/O interc
 onnects such as I2C\, SPI and USB as well as high-speed interfaces such as
  USB 3.0 and PCIe To give students the confidence to apply these concepts 
 to their next Embedded Linux project. Course Schedule Day 1 Getting Starte
