Description

The Introduction to Embedded Linux online training course describes how to apply Linux, the free, open source operating system, to embedded computing devices. Topics include: a brief introduction to Linux and the open source philosophy, installing a cross-development environment, using the Eclipse IDE, running and debugging applications on an embedded target, configuring and building the Linux kernel, booting the target, and network applications.

This course is designed to run and all the exercises and results tested on Fedora 14.

Embedded Linux Learning Kit - Many of the course exercises are based on a typical embedded computer board to give you hands-on experience in building and testing software in a cross-development environment. Specifically, you will need the Embedded Linux learning Kit from Intellimetrix. The kit is available to GogoTraining students at a substantial discount - $169 + Shipping ($12 in the US and $29 for international shipment). You may purchase the kit directly from GogoTraining by contacting us at 1.877.546.4446 or support@gogotraining.com or directly from Intellimetrix at http://www.intellimetrix.us/EmbeddedLinuxKit.htm. The kit includes a CD with sample software for the course exercises.

Hardware/Software Requirements

A workstation-class PC with at least the following:
• 1 GHz processor
• 1 GB of RAM (512 MB will work but tends to be slow)
• 10 GB available disk space
• Network port
• RS-232 serial port (USB to serial converter is OK)

Linux installed on the PC in one of these configurations:
• The only operating system
• Dual boot with Windows (select OS at boot time)
• Virtual machine running under VirtualBox

If you have a favorite Linux distribution like Ubuntu, feel free to use that. If not, we currently recommend Fedora 14. This recommendation may change in the future. Go to www.intellimetrix.us/gogotraining for the current recommendation.
