Embedded Linux networking training course
Master the internals of Linux networking from driver to userspace, and learn to configure, optimize, and troubleshoot modern embedded network stacks.
About this event
An online seminar corresponding to Bootlin's Embedded Linux Networking Training Seminar course, described with full details on https://bootlin.com/training/networking/. It is delivered over 4 half-days of 4 hours each.
The sessions will alternate between lectures and live demonstrations made by the trainer on real hardware. The live demonstrations will be made using the ARM-based Globalscale Espressobin, based on the Marvell Armada 3720 ARM64 processor. Even though this particular platform is used for the live demonstrations, the course remains perfectly useful and valid regardless of the specific hardware platform used in your projects.

Note: the first session starts 15 minutes earlier in order to have enough time for everyone to test the audio/video setup and address any issue.
Note: Please make sure to reserve your time for the extra session. Sometimes the trainer will need some extra time to complete the whole training program and you may miss important parts of the training if you are not available.
Instructions for joining will be sent to each participant at least 48 hours before the session starts. Each participant is asked to connect 15 minutes before the first session, to make sure her or his setup works.
Hardware requirements for the course
Besides a computer, an audio headset and a good Internet connection, there are no special requirements to attend this course: the practical labs are performed as live demonstrations by the trainer.
However, if you are interested in reproducing the practical labs by yourself, during the time between the sessions, you can purchase the following hardware items:
- Globalscale Espressobin board
- Suitable 12V power supply compatible with the Espressobin
- USB-A to micro B cable for the serial console
- RJ45 cable
- microSD card of minimum 8 GB capacity
Please note that if you want to reproduce the practical labs by yourself, you need to schedule additional time, outside of the session hours. You will also need a computer with a native installation of Ubuntu 24.04 (no virtual machine).
Again: having this hardware is NOT mandatory to follow the course. Many course participants follow our courses without having the corresponding hardware, and the course is very useful even without the hardware.
