Linux Kernel Programming for Embedded Systems Course
An advanced, hands-on Linux kernel programming course for embedded systems—from kernel architecture to modules, synchronization, memory management, and debugging, taught by an industry professional.
An advanced, hands-on course in Linux kernel programming for embedded systems—from understanding kernel architecture and process management to kernel-user-space communication, module development, memory management, and debugging. The course combines theory with practical examples and labs that demonstrate real development workflows. Across 10 live Zoom meetings, you will gain the tools to develop, analyze, and optimize kernel code for embedded systems, including cross-compilation, synchronization mechanisms, interrupts, timers, and power management. Learning takes place in small groups to maintain a high level of personal guidance, and every lecture is recorded with full access for enrolled students.
What you'll learn
- An in-depth understanding of Linux kernel principles and architecture for embedded systems
- Advanced analysis and management of processes, memory, and communication between user space and the kernel
- Writing and integrating Linux kernel modules and managing files efficiently
- Building and configuring the kernel and cross-compiling for target systems
- Mastering kernel synchronization, interrupts, timers, and time management
- Memory management with kmalloc, vmalloc, and the slab allocator, plus the virtual file system
- Kernel debugging and profiling with printk, KGDB, Ftrace, Perf, and KASAN
- Developing power-aware code for battery-powered systems
