Do you need to:
1) build and boot a Linux target with an initial RAM disk; 2) build and boot a Linux target with NFS-mounted root file system; 3) build and boot a Linux target from CompactFlash; and 4) assemble a cross-development environment with compiler, assembler, linker and build your target kernel, kernel modules, application programs and standard shell-level utilities such as busybox, all from internet-gathered open sources?In "Building Embedded Systems with Linux and Open Source", that's what you'll do. This is a four-day, hands-on seminar in using Linux and open source software to craft embedded systems. Hands-on, collect it, configure it, build and boot it, that's what you will do. This course will be presented in the San Jose CA area, August 5-8, 2003 (Tuesday through Friday). This course enables software engineers to develop embedded systems using 100% open source software. Everything you need is available in the open source community. RyteTyme offers the "do it" experience you need to move beyond books and reference manuals. In this class you will gather the necessary source files, assemble the cross-development tool chain, build the bootable kernel and initial RAM disk, boot the target, reconfigure for an NFS-mounted root file system, build that file system and reboot the target accordingly. Then, you will build, configure, burn and boot a flash-based, completely independent target system. At the end of this four day class, you will have done it all, and all from open source gathered from the net. (Yes, it's an intense four days: bring your wits.) See
