TimeSys Expands Educational Webinar Series for Embedded Linux Development

Business Wire, Nov 30, 2006

PITTSBURGH -- TimeSys Corporation (http://www.timesys.com), the leading developer service provider for the embedded Linux market, is adding more sessions to its popular series of educational webinars for embedded Linux developers. Beginning in early December, the new topics are designed to help developers that are new to embedded Linux, showing the steps to boot Linux on a target embedded board, get a sample application to run on the board, and help attendees understand the options available for filesystems to use with their project.

These new sessions complement the dozens of webinars TimeSys has held over the past year. Past topics have covered a wide variety of embedded Linux topics for all skill levels. Archives of past webinars are available at http://www.timesys.com/webinars/index.htm.>

    Linux Boot-Up
    Learn what happens when a Linux kernel boots from a bootloader to
    init to your user-space program running. Understand how to
    minimize boot time and get the right programs running for your
    application. We will also discuss what Linux does after the kernel
    starts and how you can get your application running easily.

    Hello World, from an Embedded Perspective
    This session will walk the user through the process of creating a
    "Hello World" application for an embedded target. It will include
    cross-compiling the kernel and application, and creating an image
    with a root file system that includes the "Hello World" program.
    Those new to embedded development using Linux will gain an
    understanding of how the different parts of Linux work together to
    solve this classic problem.

    Survey of Linux Filesystems
    Unlike desktop Linux systems, which typically use ext3, an
    embedded engineer has many different filesystems to use, each with
    their own benefits and drawbacks. This webinar will discuss
    in-depth the different filesystems frequently (and not so
    frequently) used on embedded targets. We will show where to get
    the tools for each of the filesystems and how to use them to
    create a root filesystem (RFS) for your target.
