Course Objectives

To provide an understanding of the essentials of embedded GNU/Linux, how the bits and pieces fit together. What components are needed to build an embedded GNU/Linux system, where to get them from and how to configure/build/install them? Where to get help from? What about those software licenses? Hands-on exercises provide you with the necessary practical experience to go ahead and develop your own embedded GNU/Linux systems after completing this training successfully.

Description

This five day training class uses hands-on exercises combined with instruction to illustrate the concepts of embedded GNU/Linux. It is designed to bring you quickly up to speed. The philosophy, concepts and commands necessary to make effective use of GNU/Linux are described through a combination of theory and on-the-job training. Don’t reinvent the wheel, but learn from an experienced trainer and take home a working knowledge of GNU/Linux and the ability to use it effectively in your own embedded development project.

Prerequisites

• Basic familiarity with using a GNU/Linux system (e.g. Ubuntu) as an end user in user space 
• Basic familiarity with a command line shell 
• Basic knowledge of user space/application development with GNU/Linux 
• Basic knowledge concerning embedded processors and development boards 
• Basic C programming knowledge 
• …and/or no fear to learn the above… 

Who should attend?

Managers, project managers, software-, hardware-, development-, systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians and other parties interested in the technology, who want to understand as quickly as possible how Embedded GNU/Linux works. You must use GNU/Linux or you have to luxury to decide whether it makes sense to use it or not. Maybe you already tried to use Embedded GNU/Linux, but are not quite sure that you did everything the right way. You currently use a different operating system and want to figure out whether GNU/Linux might be better and/or cheaper.

Introduction

This four day training combines theory with hands-on exercises in order to introduce the Yocto Project.
It answers frequently asked questions like:

• Is it really necessary to use another version of the tool-chain/libraries/packages for each and every GNU/Linux project and an top of that to follow a different work-flow?
• Can you ensure that the development environment is identical for all developers/suppliers and that you can still produce identical builds like today in 10+ years from now?
• Can the YP help find out under what software licenses the packages you use are licensed?
• ... and much more

Hands-on sessions are performed on target hardware (e.g. phyBOARD-Mira i.MX 6 Quad - Full Featured). After the training the students will be able to download a docker image with Ubuntu 16.x and all dependencies pre-installed plus the examples in order to work with the course material in their own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux like the one we offer here. You should already know how Embedded GNU/Linux works and maybe you even configured/built the Linux kernel for some of your projects.

Course Objectives

To provide an understanding of the essentials to utilize the Yocto Project on top of your firm knowledge about Embedded GNU/Linux, the GNU/Linux kernel and friends. We’ll see how a BSP/framework maintainer would use the Yocto Project as well as developers who might not even want/need to know they are using it.

Who should attend?

You already use GNU/Linux for your projects and have probably heard about the Yocto Project, but did not dare to have a closer look into it, or had difficulties using it. You don’t know whether and how your daily workflow can be accomodated in the YP and generally find the YP rather complicated. Why do we need all this since up to know everything was (supposedly) much easier? After the training you should be able to decide whether you need the YP or not. The workshop is aimed at software-, development-, system engineers, testers, administrators, engineers and other parties interested in the YP, with a solid knowledge of Embedded GNU/Linux.

Prerequisites

• Basic familiarity with using a GNU/Linux system (e.g. Ubuntu) as an end user in user space
• Basic familiarity with a command line shell
• Basic knowledge of user/kernel space programming with GNU/Linux
• Intermediate C programming knowledge
• You should have attended ”Embedded GNU/Linux Systems Architecture (5 days)" or ”Introduction to Embedded Linux in Theory and Practice - a Crash Course (3 days)”. (strongly recommended!) ...except if you are already familiar with the material presented in those trainings.
• You actually need to have experience with Embedded GNU/Linux (kernel, userspace, root file system, tools) to follow the Yocto training - check contents you should already know here.
• It might be helpful if you attended ”Embedded GNU/Linux Device Drivers and Kernel Internals (5 days)”, but that’s not really a prerequisite. It’s sufficient to know how to build the GNU/Linux kernel, kernel drivers in/out of tree and the fdt from the kernel side of things to follow the Yocto training.

Kursziele

Nach einer kurzen Einführung in Embedded Linux (2 Tage), möchten wir Ihnen das Wesentliche zur Nutzung des Yocto Projekts (3 Tage) vermitteln. Nach der Einführung werden wir sehen, wie ein BSP/Framework-Betreuer das Yocto-Projekt verwenden würde, sowie Entwickler, die vielleicht nicht einmal wissen wollen, dass sie es verwenden.

Beschreibung

Dieses fünftägige Training kombiniert Theorie mit praktischen Übungen, um Embedded Linux und das Yocto-Projekt vorzustellen.
Es beantwortet häufig gestellte Fragen wie:

• Was ist GNU/Linux?
• Warum Upstream verwenden?
• Woher bekommt man U-Boot/den Kernel? Wie konfiguriert/baut/installiert man das?
• Wie funktioniert Interprozesskommunikation und was sollte man verwenden/vermeiden?
• Ist es wirklich notwendig, für jedes GNU/Linux Projekt eine andere Version der Toolchain/Bibliotheken/Pakete zu verwenden, und dann auch noch bei jedem Projekt einem anderen Workflow zu folgen?
• Können Sie sicherstellen, dass die Entwicklungsumgebung für alle Entwickler/Lieferanten identisch ist und dass man in 10+ Jahren immer noch die gleichen Builds wie heute reproduzieren kann?
• Kann das YP dabei helfen herausfinden, unter welchen Softwarelizenzen die von Ihnen verwendeten Pakete lizenziert sind oder bevorzugen Sie stattdessen Bekanntschaft mit einem Copyright-Troll zu machen?
• ... und vieles mehr

Auf der Zielhardware (z.B. phyBOARD-Mira i.MX 6 Quad - Full Featured) werden praktische Übungen durchgeführt. Nach dem Training können die Studenten für den Yoto spezifischen Teil ein Docker-Image mit Ubuntu 16.x und allen vorinstallierten Abhängigkeiten sowie die Beispiele herunterladen, um mit dem Kursmaterial in ihren eigenen Labors zu arbeiten. Bitte beachten Sie, dass die ersten zwei Tage Einführung in Embedded Linux möglicherweise nicht ausreichen, um dem Yocto-Training zu folgen. Vielleicht möchten Sie hier einen Blick drauf werfen. In den ersten beiden Tagen schauen wir uns kurz an, wie Embedded GNU/Linux funktioniert und konfigurieren/bauen unter anderem den Linux-Kernel.

Wer sollte teilnehmen?

Sie verwenden bereits GNU/Linux für Ihre Projekte und haben wahrscheinlich schon von dem Yocto Projekt gehört, haben es aber nicht gewagt, es näher zu betrachten oder hatten Schwierigkeiten damit. Sie wissen nicht, ob und wie Ihr täglicher Workflow in dem YP untergebracht werden kann und finden das YP im Allgemeinen ziemlich kompliziert. Warum brauchen wir all das, obwohl (angeblich) alles bisher viel einfacher war? Nach dem Training sollten Sie entscheiden können, ob Sie das YP brauchen oder nicht. Der Workshop richtet sich an Software-, Entwicklungs-, Systemingenieure, Tester, Administratoren, Ingenieure und andere an dem YP Interessierte, die minimale Kenntnisse von (Embedded) GNU/Linux haben.

Voraussetzungen

• Grundlegende Vertrautheit mit der Verwendung eines GNU/Linux-Systems (z.B. Ubuntu) als Endbenutzer im user space
• Grundlegende Vertrautheit mit einer Befehlszeilen-Shell
• Grundkenntnisse der Programmierung von User/Kernel-Space mit GNU/Linux
• Mittelmäßige Programmierkenntnisse in der Sprache C
• Es hilft, mit ”Embedded GNU/Linux Systems Architecture (5 days)" oder ”Introduction to Embedded Linux in Theory and Practice - a Crash Course (3 days)” vertraut zu sein, aber selbst wenn Sie es nicht sind, werden wir versuchen, Sie in den ersten zwei Tagen auf den notwendingen Wissensstand zu bringen.
• Es kann hilfreich sein, wenn Sie ”Embedded GNU/Linux Device Drivers and Kernel Internals (5 days)” besucht haben, aber das ist nicht wirklich eine Voraussetzung. Es genügt zu wissen, wie man den GNU/Linux-Kernel, Kernel-Treiber in/out of tree und den fdt baut, um dem BSP/Kernel Teil des Yocto Trainings folgen zu können und diese Themen werden wir in den ersten beiden Tagen behandeln.

Welche Vortragsmethoden dürfen wir Ihnen anbieten?

Das Trainingsmaterial ist auf Englisch, aber die Präsentation kann sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch gemacht werden, ganz wie Sie es wünschen und zwar welt- bzw. europaweit.

• vor Ort (öffentliche Schulung oder in-house bei Ihnen) - mit Trainer *)
• Online - mit Trainer **)
On-site/Online-Kombination - mit Trainer *)**)

Während des Trainings bieten wir Laptops *), Boards *) **), Arbeitshefte und Nachschlagewerke (in Englisch - elektronisch oder gedruckt) *) **), Fernzugriff auf Server und Boards **), Screen-Sharing **), Audio-Bridge * *) an. Wenn Sie genaueres zum Thema "Trainings Vortragsmethoden" wissen möchten schauen Sie bitte hier nach und/oder fragen Sie hier.

Die Bücher und Beispiele nehmen die Schulungsteilnehmer normalerweise nach der Schulung mit nach Hause.
