Embedded Linux Security training course
Master the security of embedded Linux systems, from secure boot and cryptography to TrustZone, filesystem encryption, vulnerability management, and secure updates, ensuring end-to-end platform security.
About this event
An online seminar corresponding to Bootlin's Embedded Linux Security Training Seminar course, described with full details on https://bootlin.com/training/security/. It is delivered over 4 half-days of 4 hours each, plus an extra session of up to 4 hours to cover any remaining topic or question.
The sessions will alternate between lectures and live demonstrations made by the trainer on real hardware. The live demonstrations will be made using the ARM64-based NXP i.MX93 FRDM, based on the NXP i.MX93 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.

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:
- One NXP i.MX93 FRDM board
- Two USB-C cables, one for power, one for console
- Ethernet cable to connect the board to your computer
- 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), with a microSD card reader and an available Ethernet port to connect to the board.
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.
