ADVANCED BLACKFIN uCLINUX  

Course Overview
 The Advanced BlackFin uClinux workshop is a high paced dynamic follow up course to the Introduction to uClinux workshop. If you are wanting to optimizing your use of MMUless Embedded Linux then consider the benefits of attending this workshop.  This class is designed around the use of the blackfin single and multiprocessors.

Course Objectives and Content
 This is the ONLY workshop available that covers these topics in such detail. Most instructors simply have not had the depth or range of experience to even understand the problems

Students can expect the following:

  • A fast paced, in depth coverage of the more complex details of performance systems  
  • Answers to many nagging questions you have already been struggling with in Embedded Linux development
  • Details of working with the more complex CPU components
  • Some expert instruction from someone who has “been there, done that” for many years
  • A fun few days doing more advanced work with Linux

This will be accomplished by covering the following topics in detail:

  • Customizing and enhancing u-boot
  • Advanced Debugging
  • Kernel features such as Interrupt Priority, L1/L2 Memory Use, DMA Memory zone etc
  • internal SRAM
  • L2 SRAM
  • DMA, GPIO, SPI, PPI
  • Using USB

Practical Examples include

  • Video and Audio streaming
  • Graphics systems
  • Jpeg encode/decode
  • C code interpreter
  • Simulation
  • Kernel Debugging
  • Real Time Linux

 

Course Materials
The course materials include a workbook that contains all of the slides presented during the lectures as well as hands-on lab exercises.  Bring your laptop and you will be learning the system while using your own, newly configured, laptop. When you finish, all the examples will be right at your fingertips

 

Please note that uClinux refers to very efficient, embedded linux distribution designed for a number of MMUless embedded controllers.
