Mon 23 to Fri 27 September 2013: Linux Device Driver Training (Brussels, Belgium)

Mind is organising a Linux Device Driver Training in Brussels between September 23^rd and September 27^th 2013, in co-operation with one of its partners.
This 5 days training is intended for developers that want to learn how to write or improve Linux Kernel Drivers for Embedded Linux platforms and Linux in general. In a 50 to 60% lab-time approach, all participants get a real hands-on experience and they learn how to avoid classical pitfalls. The training goes deep into the kernel architecture, the main APIs, the integration of device drivers with other parts of the kernel and with userspace applications. During the training, all attendees get direct feed-back in an interactive manner, and at the end of the training they are ready to work on Linux device driver development projects.
During the training, all attendees also receive a specific ARM development board with which they can continue to experiment later.
