- Participants must have successfully compiled a Linux kernel for at least one traditional desktop (non-embedded) system.
- Participants should possess a working knowledge of the components that comprise the Linux userspace on desktop systems.
- Proficiency in generating and applying software patches is required.
- Participants must be able to articulate the functions of GNU Make, Autotools, and other prevalent build systems.
- It is recommended that participants maintain at least one Linux package, either as an upstream contributor or within a standard Linux distribution.
- Prior experience in embedded development is not a prerequisite; however, it does not replace the foundational knowledge of traditional Linux desktop environments outlined above.
