This instructor-led, live training in 台灣 introduces the system architectures, operating systems, networking, storage, and cryptographic issues that should be considered when designing secure embedded systems.
By the end of this course, participants will have a solid understanding of security principles, concerns, and technologies. More importantly, participants will be equipped with the techniques needed for developing safe and secure embedded software.
This training intends to introduce C++ as the common extension of C when applying object-oriented embedded system development. Since C++ encloses C, this training takes us from C to C++ in a natural way, and looks under the hood of how C++ is implemented. This is especially valuable to comprehend when applying C++ in an embedded resource limited environment. The C++ standard has recently been undergoing a major revision, a.k.a. as C++11, and a new one is on its way, C++14. This course addresses subjects brought in with these revisions that are especially useful like high performance memory management, concurrency making use of a multicore environment, and bare-metal close to the hardware programming.
GOAL/BENEFITS
The major objective of this class is that you shall be able to use C++ in a “correct way”.
Introduce C++ as an object oriented language alternative in an embedded system context
Show the similarities ‑ and differences ‑ with the C language
Comprehend different memory management strategies – especially the move semantics introduced with C++11
Look under the hood and understand what different paradigms in C++ leads to in machine code
Use templates to achieve type safe high order abstractions for bare-metal close to the hardware programming – memory mapped I/O as well as interrupts – especially the variadic templates introduced with C++11
Provide some useful design patterns especially applicable in an embedded context
A few exercises in order to practice some concepts
AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS
This training is aimed C++- programmers who intend to start using C++ in an embedded system context.
PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
The course requires basic knowledge in C++ programming, corresponding to our trainings ”C++ – Level 1” and ”C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11”.
PRACTICAL EXERCISES
During the training you will practice the presented concepts in a number of exercises. We will use the open and free integrated development environment from Eclipse
Is C++ suitable for embedded systems such as microcontrollers and real-time-operating-systems?
Should object-oriented-programming be used in microcontrollers?
Is C++ too far removed from the hardware to be efficient?
This instructor-led, live training addresses these questions and demonstrates through discussion and practice how C++ can be used to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants put theory into practice through the creation of a sample embedded application in C++.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Understand the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming and real-time programming
Produce code for embedded systems that is small, fast and safe
Avoid code bloat from templates, exceptions, and other language features
Understand the issues related to using C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems
Debug a C++ program on a target device
Audience
Developers
Designers
Format of the course
Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
This instructor-led, live training in 台灣 (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to design high-performance embedded systems using FPGA.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Install and configure the FPGA software tools needed to design and simulate an embedded system.
Select the best FPGA architecture for an application.
This is a two day course covering all basic principles of building Embedded linux Systems, around 60% of the entire course time is practical hands-on implementation for real world application using the same standards and tools used in industry
This instructor-led, live training in 台灣 (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use TensorFlow Lite to deploy deep learning models on embedded devices.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Install and configure Tensorflow Lite on an embedded device.
Understand the concepts and components underlying TensorFlow Lite.
Convert existing models to TensorFlow Lite format for execution on embedded devices.
Work within the limitations of small devices and TensorFlow Lite, while learning how to expand the scope of operations that can be run.
Deploy a deep learning model on an embedded device running Linux.
Description
This four day training combines theory with hands-on exercises in order to introduce the Yocto Project.
It answers frequently asked questions like:
Is it really necessary to use another version of the toolchain/libraries/packages for each and every GNU/Linux project and an top of that to follow a different work-flow?
Can you ensure that the development environment is identical for all developers/suppliers and that you can still produce identical builds like today in 10+ years from now?
Can the YP help find out under what software licenses the packages you use are licensed?
Hands-on sessions are performed on target hardware (e.g. Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). After the training you will be able to download a docker image with Ubuntu 14.x and all dependencies pre-installed plus the examples in order to work with the course material in your own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux. You should already know how Embedded GNU/Linux works and how to configure/build the GNU/Linux kernel and kernel drivers.
Who should attend?
You already use GNU/Linux for your projects and have probably heard about the Yocto Project, but did not dare to have a closer look into it, or had difficulties using it. You don’t know whether and how your daily work-flow can be accommodated in the YP and generally find the YP rather complicated. Why do we need all this since up to know everything was (supposedly) much easier? After the training you should be able to decide whether you need the YP or not. The workshop is aimed at software-, development-, system engineers, testers, administrators, engineers and other parties interested in the YP, with a solid knowledge of Embedded GNU/Linux.
In this instructor-led, live training in 台灣, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on Yocto Project.
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.
Build a Linux image and run it under emulation.
Save time and energy building embedded Linux systems.
Buildroot is an open-source project that contains scripts that produce a cross-compilation toolchain, a customizable root filesystem image, and a Linux kernel for embedded devices. During this practical course, participants will learn how to use it:
How to select software that goes into the root filesystem.
How to add new packages and modify existing ones.
How to add support for new embedded boards.
During the course, bootable filesystem images will be produced. Remote courses are delivered using the QEMU emulator, while in the classroom it is possible to use either QEMU or real embedded boards of the trainer's choice.
Other projects with similar goals include the Yocto project and OpenWRT. Please use these presentations to determine which one is the right choice for your needs.
