Since the Hands-on Embedded Linux Development Workshop in Westborough, MA (Oct. 27th) was sold out, I lined up a second workshop for December 4th (same place, agenda, etc.). Here are the details:
Monday, December 4, 2000 * 8:00 am to 5:30 pm * Westborough, Mass.
The first Embedded Linux Development Workshop on October 26th Sold-Out and was a great success … so we set the stage for an encore . . .
The process of creating a customized and optimized embedded Linux system entails quite a number of steps. In this vendor-neutral workshop, we carefully walk through that process, and focus on open source software that is available on the Internet free of charge. Attendees will gain direct experience by performing each step on their own in the workshop's hands-on lab set-up. The procedure involves customizing a Linux kernel, building a file system, incorporating device drivers, creating a system image, controlling the boot process, and enabling custom applications. The workshop walks participants through the entire process of building a complete custom version of Linux that includes application software. Examples of applications that will be discussed include: embedded web servers, audio applications, and a web interface to the embedded Linux device. After this workshop, attendees will be able to customize Linux on their own, to provide a minimal environment for custom applications. Each attendee will receive a CD containing a complete Linux environment, and will build a bootable floppy that contains a complete small-footprint Linux system. While not required, attendees will benefit from prior Linux experience. The Workshop will provide attendees with CD ROM; Continental Breakfast (7:30am); Mid morning, Lunch, and afternoon refreshments.
