Bootlin Embedded Linux Development with Buildroot Training Seminar

An online seminar corresponding to Bootlin's Embedded Linux development with Buildroot training course, described with full details on https://bootlin.com/training/buildroot/. It is delivered over 5 half-days of 4 hours each.

The sessions will alternate between lectures and live demonstrations made by the trainer on real hardware. The live demonstrations will be made using the ARM-based STM32MP157D Discovery Kit 1 platform. Even though this particular platform is used for the live demonstrations, the course remains perfectly useful and valid regardless of the specific hardware platform used in your projects.

In addition to being run online, the main difference is that practical labs are run directly by the instructor in front of the participants.

• Dates: Sept 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 2022
• Time: 09:00 to 13:00 on each day, Paris Time (UTC+2)
• Oral language: English
• Materials language: English
• Agenda: https://bootlin.com/doc/training/buildroot/buildroot-online-agenda.pdf
• Instructor: Thomas Petazzoni (https://bootlin.com/company/staff/thomas-petazzoni/)
• Videoconferencing infrastructure: Jitsi Meet

Instructions for joining will be sent to each participant at least 48 hours before the session starts. Each participant is asked to connect 15 minutes before the first session, to make sure her or his setup works (instructions will be sent before the event).

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COURSE

Besides a computer, an audio headset and a good Internet connection, there are no special requirements to attend this course: the practical labs are performed as live demonstrations by the trainer.

However, if you are interested in reproducing the practical labs by yourself, during the time between the sessions, you can purchase the following hardware items:

• The STM32MP157D Discovery Kit 1, available from several distributors
• One USB type C cable, to power the board
• One micro-USB cable, to access the serial console of the board
• A Nunchuk device with its UEXT connector, available for example from Olimex
• 4 breadboard wires to connect the Nunchuk to the board, available for example from Olimex

Again: having this hardware is NOT mandatory to follow the course. Many course participants follow our courses without having the corresponding hardware, and the course is very useful even without the hardware.
