Linaro training takes an upstream-aware approach
Upstream-Aware Linux Training
Many long-term problems in Linux systems stem from decisions made early—often without a clear understanding of upstream communities or long-term ownership cost. Upstream contribution is not required. But understanding how upstream works leads to better outcomes, even when contribution is not the immediate goal.

2 weeks, Tue and Thu 3-5pm UTC
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.
6 - 13 May 2026
2 weeks, Wed 7-9pm UTC
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.

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.
Focused training across the system software stack
Explore Our Course Portfolio
Our courses are organized into four core technical areas, reflecting the skills required to build, integrate, and maintain modern Arm-based systems. Each category focuses on practical engineering knowledge, from low-level firmware through to system security.
Build
Tools, workflows, and build systems used to assemble and integrate complex software stacks, including Yocto Project and related technologies.
Firmware
Low-level software that brings hardware to life, covering bootloaders, trusted firmware, and early system initialization.
Linux
Kernel, userspace, and system-level topics focused on developing, debugging, and maintaining Linux-based systems.
Security
Foundational and advanced security concepts for modern systems, including trusted execution, secure boot, and system hardening.
