Toradex offers an enterprising 3-day course which provides you with everything you need to get started with embedded Linux and Yocto. You will be guided step-by-step by experienced trainer Marco Cavallini. The course is for a maximum of 10 attendees and will be held at the Sheraton Arabellapark Hotel, Munich, Germany from November 23-25, 2016.

The course is targeted at everybody who is interested to get started with Yocto on embedded devices; for example, if you are a Linux PC user or an application programmer who likes to target ARM^® embedded devices, or are familiar with other build systems. It’s also ideal to attend if you are at the beginning of a project, as you will be guided through the complete setup. Basic Linux and C/C++ programming skills are recommended.

We will use the latest NXP^®/Freescale i.MX 7 ARM SoC on the Toradex Colibri iMX7 System on Module. At the end of the training, you will be able to keep the embedded System on Module and go home with a Virtual Machine with the complete build system, so you have a jump start into your next project.

You will need to bring your own Laptop.
