OverviewWhat you'll
What you'll
be able to do.
- This course covers the various features of the Linux kernel and the process of implementing these features on embedded targets like BeagleBone Black.
- During the coursework, the learners are exposed to:
- Various steps involved in writing, compilation, and installation of the Linux kernel module using Ubuntu OS.
- Embedded Linux for BeagleBone Black.
- Process of interfacing sensors to the BeagleBone Black.
- Different subsystems of the kernel, such as I2C, GPIO, and interrupt handling.
- They are also exposed to the modern trends and standard practices being followed in the industry right now.
- After completing this program, the students will be able to pursue a career in semiconductor manufacturing companies, automotive companies, and companies that manufacture consumer appliances.
