Developing Embedded Linux Device Drivers (LFD435)
This four-day course goes into details of device driver development for the Linux kernel for embedded devices.
The Developing Embedded Linux Device Drivers course is designed for experienced developers looking to enhance their skills in creating device drivers for embedded Linux systems. Through practical labs using RISC-V-based emulated development targets, participants will gain hands-on experience and a solid understanding of the Linux kernel. This course covers various types of device drivers, essential APIs, and the processes involved in cross-compiling and developing drivers for embedded targets.
By the end of the course, participants will be well-versed in the key concepts of device driver development, including kernel configuration, memory management, and interrupt handling. They will also learn about advanced topics such as Direct Memory Access (DMA) and USB drivers. This comprehensive training prepares developers to effectively contribute to embedded Linux projects, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills to tackle real-world challenges in this field. Prior knowledge of basic kernel interfaces and methods is recommended to maximize the learning experience.
