Course 3: The Yocto Project - An Overview (3 days)

Prerequisites

You already use GNU/Linux for your projects and have probably heard about the Yocto Project (YP), 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 work flow can be accommodated in the YP and generally find the YP rather complicated. Why do we need all this since up to now 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.

Requirements

• Experience with Embedded GNU/Linux (kernel, userspace, root filesystem, tools) [See Course 1: EGLiSA ]

Course 4: Multimedia (3 days)

Prerequisites

Multimedia is a challenging topic - frequently needed and key feature for user acceptance of many devices, there is still very few information available about the internal workings, optimal configuration, etc. - not to mention that things like graphics drivers are treaded as a top secret, with very little information available about porting or debugging, especially for Open Source code.

This training class includes all tons of infformation which cannot be found elsewhere. To follow this class, you should have routine knowledge about working with Embeded GNU/Linux systems. Ideally you should have been working with multimedia devices (cameras, GPUs, audio devices) before and know the standard tools like v4l2-ctl, yavta, aplay/arecord/alsaloop, gstreamer, ffmpeg...

Here is the agenda for this training class.

Customized Courses:

All courses can be customized upon customer's request. Please feel free to assemble your own training course according to your project's special needs - you can either chose from our standard agenda or bring up your own topics.

Just let us know what you need.

General Information

Language

Unless explicitly stated courses are held in German language. The courses and the language used are scheduled on demand, so if you are interested in e.g. an English Linux Device Drivers course, let us know.

Getting there

The courses are held at our office in Groebenzell, near Munich, Germany, which is located directly at the S-Bahn train station (train S3) and is therefore easily reached by public transport. The travel takes 22 minutes from the Munich city center (Marienplatz) and 18 minutes from the central station. During rush hours trains operate every 10 minutes, otherwise every 20 minutes.

If you are arriving by plane, simply take any S-Bahn from the airport to the central station and from there continue with the S-Bahn S3. Alternatively the taxi fare from the airport to Gröbenzell/Olching is approximately € 80,-.

Accommodation

For accomodation we can recommend either Hotel DaVinci just down the road or the Hotel Schiller in Olching (next village, 3 minutes by train - S3). If you want we can help you with the hotel reservations.
