Rust for Embedded Systems Training Course

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is designed for C developers who wish to learn embedded C design principles for government applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the design considerations that ensure the reliability of embedded C programs
• Define the functionality of an embedded system in a public sector context
• Determine the program logic and structure necessary to achieve the desired outcomes
• Create a reliable, error-free embedded application suitable for government use
• Optimize performance on target hardware to meet government standards

Format of the Course:

• Interactive lectures and discussions
• Exercises and practical applications
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment

Course Customization Options:

• To request a customized training for this course tailored to specific government needs, please contact us to arrange.

In this instructor-led, live training in US, participants will gain an understanding of coding using FreeRTOS as they work through the development of a simple real-time operating system (RTOS) project on a microcontroller.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Comprehend the fundamental concepts of real-time operating systems for government applications.
• Familiarize themselves with the FreeRTOS environment.
• Write code using FreeRTOS to align with public sector workflows and governance.
• Integrate a FreeRTOS application with hardware peripherals to support accountability in government projects.

In this instructor-led, live training in US, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on the Yocto Project, tailored specifically for government applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts behind a Yocto Project build system, including recipes, metadata, and layers, as they apply to public sector workflows.
• Build a Linux image and run it under emulation, ensuring alignment with government standards and requirements.
• Save time and energy in developing embedded Linux systems for government use.

Description

This four-day training combines theory with hands-on exercises to introduce the Yocto Project. It addresses frequently asked questions such as:

• Is it really necessary to use different versions of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for each GNU/Linux project, and follow a distinct workflow?
• Can you ensure that the development environment is identical for all developers and suppliers, and still produce consistent builds even 10+ years from now?
• Can the Yocto Project help identify the software licenses under which the packages you use are licensed?

Hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - ). After the training, participants will be able to download a Docker image with Ubuntu 14.x and all dependencies pre-installed, along with examples, to work with the course material in their own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux. Participants should already have knowledge of how Embedded GNU/Linux works and how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and kernel drivers.

Who should attend?

This training is designed for individuals who are currently using GNU/Linux in their projects and may have heard about the Yocto Project but have not had the opportunity to explore it further or encountered difficulties in its use. If you are unsure whether your daily workflow can be accommodated within the Yocto Project and find it complex, this course will help you determine if the Yocto Project is necessary for government projects. The workshop is aimed at software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals with a solid understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux.
