An open source embedded training and services company in the South of France has expanded its collection of freely licensed French- and English-language educational materials about embedded Linux. Free Electrons says the lectures, presentations, and practical labs can be useful for either corporate training or self-study.

Free Electrons develops corporate training programs about open source embedded development, which it says it delivers to clients around the world. It first began sharing its training materials under the GNU Free Documentation License a year ago.

Since then, Free Electrons's collection of materials has grown to include more than a thousand pages and slides, it says, including 13 lectures and presentations, and 11 practical labs covering many aspects of developing embedded systems with open source software. It now publishes its work under the Creative Commons Attribution — Share-alike 2.0 license.

Recently added material includes:

• Training material:
  • audio in embedded Linux systems
  • multimedia in embedded Linux systems

• Presentations:
  • embedded Linux from scratch in 40 minutes
  • Linux on TI OMAP processors
  • free software development tools

Free Electrons spokesperson Michael Opdenacker said, “Though they target corporate sessions, which fund their development, these materials are also meant to be used by individuals interested in self-training.”

A complete listing of newly added material, and a list of changes to older material, can be found here.
