Description

Hi,My name is Mustafa Ozcelikors, a Senior Linux & Android Engineer and team leader with more than +9 years of experience working in automotive with Master's Degree in Embedded Systems, who have won Google SOC event in 2017 and who have been actively contributing to open source and commercial projects. I have been using Yocto Project for almost 10 years, dating back to my college years."Applied Yocto Project using Raspberry Pi 5 (with Embedded Linux practices)" is an unique Embedded Linux course unlike any other. The course utilizes drawings, slideshows, diagrams, examples, hands-on applications in order for you to visualize every subject in your mind with ease. Course level starts with beginner, but some advanced topics are also explained.Theoretical subjects are carefully planned and almost for every important subject, multiple block diagrams have been created for better understanding. Almost every figure, schematic, drawing comes from years of experience in the field, not from the internet or from any book. In practical subjects, we take a deep dive in exploring Yocto Project together, and open up a terminal together to achieve things within it.At the end of the course we together will have a custom Linux distribution with distinct machine configuration, kernel, recipe examples, and Qt application.You are in this now for the following great content:Understand the core philosophy behind Embedded Linux systems from Introductory to Advanced subjects.Understand why we use Embedded Linux in certain products.Understand how Linux systems and Raspberry Pi 5 boot.Grasp how embedded Linux tasks work (unpack, patch, configure, compile, install, deploy, package).Understand Linux distributions and package managers.Comfortably handle tasks regarding Yocto Project and its configuration with ease.Understand how Raspberry Pi 5 layer and board configuration work in Yocto Project (meta-raspberrypi, hardware specs, serial console).Create your own machine configurations within Yocto Project.Create your own layers for your Linux distribution.Comfortably create new recipes for software packages that use multiple build systems (GCC, GNU Make, CMake, PyPi).Integrate third party software (e.g. GNOME, XFCE, Qt) in Embedded Linux products.Integrate graphical desktop in your Embedded Linux system.Deploy system images to Raspberry Pi 5 and work with secure shells and serial console software.Create patches for existing software packages using DEVTOOL.Understand how to comfortably understand and modify kernel configurations (Kconfig, config fragments).Downgrade and upgrade Linux Kernel version of your embedded Linux distribution.Thank you very much for your interest! I hope to see you in the first lecture!Kindly yours,M.Eng Mustafa Ozcelikors
