#embedded #systems #software #and #hardware #tools

Description:

1. The retrospective of how embedded systems had evolved over the last decades. The most significant challenges
2. Embedded Linux: pros and cons for your projects. Overview of possible alternatives
3. Real-time vs general-purpose operating systems. Comparison of real-time solutions: Linux RT patches, QNX, FreeRTOS
4. Prerequisites to start with. Available development boards and some of their flaws. The recommended software and hardware tools to use. Building your team workflow when developing an Embedded Linux project
5. Perspectives of using Embedded Linux in SoC FPGA based systems

    Upon completion of this seminar, participants have learned:

1. Why and when is it worth switching from bare metal to an Embedded Linux
2. Possible solutions when real-time is required
3. What are the common pitfalls with the existing development boards. How to properly select a chip for your board running Embedded Linux. In which cases it proves better to design a custom development board
4. What tools to use when working on Embedded Linux project. How Yocto and Buildroot could come in handy dealing with it
5. Opportunities the Embedded Linux brings to SoC FPGA based designs
