Embedded Apprentice Linux Engineer Track

Date:  Monday, October 22 – Tuesday, October 23
Time: View the Schedule
Location: Lammermuir 1, EICC
Cost:  $100 which includes the embedded HW kit

Are you an Embedded Engineer who is transitioning to using Linux? Attend seminars on how to start with using Linux for Embedded Applications. Embedded Apprentice Linux Engineer (E-ALE) is a series of 8 seminars over 2 days at ELCE; E-ALE registered attendees can take as many or few of these as they want to, however classrooms are limited to 50 people at a time, so get your seat in class early. The seminars will each represent a key topic relevant to Engineers new to Embedded Linux. Each seminar starts with a roughly 45 min lecture or presentation on one subject, followed by roughly 45 minutes of lab time to practice the relevant learned skills on real embedded HW. Each seminar will be taught by a professional Embedded Linux Instructor with years of practical experience. The E-ALE kit includes a PocketBeagle and BaconBits Cape, along with USB cables, uSD card and reader.

FOSSology – Hands on Training

FOSSology is an open source license compliance software system and toolkit. As a toolkit, you can run automated license, copyright and export control scans from the command line. As a system, a Web interface provides you with a compliance workflow. License, copyright and export control scanners are tools used in the workflow. Analyzing open source license compliance requires expert knowledge. Consequently, the use of the tool requires an understanding of license analysis problems and how they are covered by FOSSology. This hands-on training session will provide this understanding.

The following elements are covered:

• Challenges in real-world examples at license analysis
• Learning how to cope with license proliferation and custom license texts
• Efficiently managing large open source components with heterogeneous licensing
• Saving work with reusing license conclusions of open source packages when analyzing
• How FOSSology works with the SPDX standard
• New features in the past year of FOSSology

This course will be valuable to anyone concerned with and involved in Open Source Management, including operational and legal executives, software development managers, open source program managers, and developers. Participants are encouraged to directly work on the given FOSSology software, in the best case on their own notebook computers for using FOSSology after the session as well. Assistance for installation will be provided.

Zephyr Hackathon – “Get Connected” Currently Full, Waitlist Only

We’ll be holding a challenge to “connect up” the badges running Zephyr that Phytec is providing to all hackathon attendees.

If you’ve never worked with Zephyr before,  we’ll hold an orientation session at the start of the day. You can learn the tips and tricks of setting up a development environment and working with Zephyr from our experts. Then we’ll turn you loose to work on the Hackathon’s challenge (see more details here).

If you’re just starting with embedded programming, you can help out the Zephyr project by helping fix some of the “Good First Issue” bugs.

Prizes will be awarded to the person who comes up with the best solution to the challenge, as well as to the developer who resolves the most bugs.

Phytec will be providing Zephyr Badges… (board details coming soon!)   Space (and boards) are limited, so sign up soon.
