Course overview

Products with embedded systems have grown both in size and in functionality from small control and measurement devices to connected products with a wide range of applications.

Linux is today the most common choice when developing more powerful and connected embedded systems. Linux runs on a number of different architectures such as PowerPC, ARM, and MIPS and supports all kinds of applications.

Yocto Projects is today the tool that most people use to develop a native system in Linux. Yocto is an industry standard since 2010, run by the Linux Foundation and supported by several large companies.
