This course introduces the Linaro Automated Validation Architecture (LAVA), covering how users write and submit jobs for automated testing on real hardware, how to analyze test results with queries and charts, and how administrators can install, configure, and manage a LAVA lab infrastructure.

This course covers foundational concepts, environment setup, and hands-on skills for creating custom embedded Linux systems, and developing custom components like recipes and layers.

This course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the Arm Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) project and the underlying security architecture.

This course is for experienced programmers, covering the fundamentals of the Rust language, its ecosystem (Crates, Cargo), advanced topics like the Type System and Taming the Borrow Checker (ownership, lifetimes), and specialized applications such as Embedded Rust and Rust for Linux kernel development.

U-Boot is the most widely used embedded bootloader, backed by a large community, and this module explains why: covering its core features, configuration options, and practical build and deployment on real hardware.

This course covers the Linux kernel's architecture, source organization, build process, the role of DeviceTree for hardware description, pragmatic driver development using concepts like MMIO and Regmap, and techniques for symbolic debugging.

This course details the technical and social process of contributing code to the mainline Linux kernel, covering its organizational structure, the benefits of upstreaming, the culture and rules of mailing list communication, and the use of tools like b4 and clang-format for creating, formatting, and submitting high-quality patch series.

This course builds a systematic approach to diagnosing kernel issues, starting with principles such as failing early and progressing to practical, in-depth use of core Linux kernel debugging tools. Learners gain hands-on experience with ftrace for tracing, eBPF for low-overhead dynamic analysis, and perf for statistical profiling.

This course covers the foundational concepts, architecture, and components of the Open Portable Trusted Execution Environment (OP-TEE), including TEE principles, compliance with GlobalPlatform standards, shared memory, cryptography, compatibility with ARM Trusted Firmware, and practical guidance on building and porting the system.

Linaro DDT is a highly scalable parallel debugger, part of the Linaro Forge suite, which is the de-facto standard for HPC development. It is designed specifically for HPC workloads, including multi-threaded applications, to ensure program correctness.
