Self-paced hands-on tutorial on how programs interact with devices in an embedded system.

Zilogic Systems participated in PyCon India 2019 at the Chennai Trade Centre. PyCon India is the premier conference in India on using and developing python programming language. Zilogic System was the associate partner of this grand tech event. More details at https://in.pycon.org/2019/

We are happy to announce a devsprint for Linux Test Project (LTP). This devsprint is for developers who are familiar with Linux System Programming and would like to take a plunge into contributing to an open source project.

Writing good device driver codes is still challenging for many embedded application programmers. Even though sufficient documentation is available, many still find it hard to understand what are the Do’s and Dont’s for writing drivers. One of the reason for this is that, Unlike application programming, learning to …

The "Demystifying Linux Device Drivers, Workshop", was organized by Zilogic Systems on December 15-16 in Chennai. The workshop was done using our in-house hardware: ZKit-ARM-VF51 and DietIO. The ZKit-ARM-VF51 is the baseboard, powered by a Vybrid VF5xx SoC. The DietIO is the add-on board that has variety of devices for teaching and learning embedded systems and device drivers.

We are happy to announce our next workshop, "Demystifying Linux Device Drivers". This workshop is for developers who are familiar with Linux in embedded systems, and would like to explore the world of devices and drivers.

One of the pain points in starting with device drivers, is the missing bits …

The "Embedded Linux Device Interfacing Workshop", was organized on July 1 and 2, in Chennai, and on July 15, in Banglore. The workshop was done using our in-house hardware: ZKit-ARM-VF50 and DietIO. The ZKit-ARM-VF50 is the baseboard, powered by a Vybrid VF5xx SoC. The DietIO is the add-on board, that has variety of devices for teachning and learning embedded systems and device drivers.

Today, Linux runs on a variety of devices, from smartphones to infotainment systems to refrigerators. It is the most popular general purpose operating system, on the planet, used in embedded systems.

The objective of the workshop is to help developers understand how various sensors and actuators are accessed and controlled from a Linux based embedded system. We hope this increased understanding of the system, will lead to a better design, cleaner implementation, faster debugging, finally resulting in a better quality product.

The "Embedded Linux Dojo" was organized by the Embedded Linux Meetup Group. The Embedded Linux Meetup Group is a Zilogic Systems initiative to bring together people working on Linux in Embedded Systems, with the hope to share knowledge and ideas.

The dojo was themed around building a WiFi router from scratch using a Embedded Linux target board, running Debian GNU/Linux. Here is the minutes of the event, contributed by Vengatesh.

The "Understanding Git, Workshop" was organized by Zilogic Systems, on Dec 3. About 46 people from various organizations participated in the workshop.

Git has grown up to become the de-facto version control system for open source software development. Acquiring a good mental model of Git, will help people wield it correctly and work more efficiently. This workshop will provide the required internals of Git, to help people acquire the required mental model. The workshop starts right from the basics of Git, and covers the internals of Git, and then moves on to the power features of Git.

The "U-Boot Meetup" was organized by Zilogic Systems, on 24th September. About 30 people from various organizations attended the workshop.

The "Linux Kernel Porting Workshop", was organized on Sep 10 and 11. About 36 people from various organizations, including CEM Solutions (Bengaluru), EmbDes (Bengaluru), e-con Systems, Logitech, NIELIT (Calicut), Visteon, VVDN Technologies, attended the workshop.
