| Instructor | Dongkun Shin Professor Embedded Software Laboratory |
| Course Description: |
This course provides the theory of embedded Linux kernel and practical labs. This course will enable students to develop or improve device drivers in the Linux kernel. The course makes you familiar with the essentials of kernel development: kernel architecture, the main APIs, integration of device drivers with other parts of the kernel and with user applications. At the end of this course, you will be ready to work on Linux device driver development projects. |
