Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded System Development training

Learn how to build and run embedded Linux systems with the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded.

About this event

An in-person training session based on Bootlin's Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded development training, detailed at https://bootlin.com/training/yocto/. This comprehensive course spans 3 full days (8 hours per day) and includes a total of 24 hours of training.

The sessions will alternate between lectures and hands-on practical work, allowing participants to directly apply the concepts learned, with the help of our experienced trainer. The practical labs represent 50% to 60% of the whole course time and will be conducted using the ARM-based STMicroelectronics STM32MP157D-DK1 platform. Even though this particular platform is used for the hands-on work, the course content is designed to be applicable to any hardware platform relevant to your projects.

Hardware requirements for the course

Bootlin will provide computers and hardware accessories for the duration of the course, so only bring good vibes with you!

Prerequisites

• Knowledge and practice of UNIX or GNU/Linux commands: participants must be familiar with the Linux command line. Participants lacking experience on this topic should get trained by themselves, for example with our freely available on-line slides at https://bootlin.com/blog/command-line/
• Minimal experience in embedded Linux development: participants should have a minimal understanding of the architecture of embedded Linux systems: role of the Linux kernel vs. user-space, development of Linux user-space applications in C. Following Bootlin’s Embedded Linux course allows to fulfill this pre-requisite.
• Minimal English language level: B1, according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages, for our sessions in English. See the CEFR grid for self-evaluation.
