The UK conference and exhibition for hi-tech developers, The Embedded Masterclass, will include a workshop to introduce developers to the Linux operating systems for use in embedded systems. This is a re-run of last year´s workshop that 57 engineers attended and that was oversubscribed. This workshop shows how to build a working embedded Linux system, using an ARM development board as the target. Topics covered include cross-development tools, kernel configuration and compilation and the essential components of a root file system. The combination of theory and practice will give delegates an insight into the working of Linux in embedded environments. The workshop is 50% practical and 50% theory.
"We had to turn down some requests for the workshop last year, because we hav...
