This intermediate-level, two-day course provides embedded systems developers with experience in creating
an embedded Linux environment on a Xilinx development board using Xilinx embedded tools. The course
scenario is the customization of a System on Chip (SoC) design with an embedded operating system (Linux).
It describes the use of Xilinx tools to create a GNU tool chain to work with Linux 2.6 from the Xilinx
kernel tree. This course also introduces embedded Linux components, environment configurations,
application development, network components, and debugging/profiling options for embedded Linux platforms.
The course focuses on Linux system development in conjunction with the Xilinx tool flow.

Lab Descriptions
- Lab: Build the Development Environment Lab – Using the virtual machine
environment, build a hardware design, and use the toolchain cross-compiler and
scripts to ….
- Lab: Building and Configuring the Software Platform Lab – Configure the
kernel, build the Kernel without a root filesystem, download and start the
Kernel with xmd, try basic debugging techniques, build a minimal rootfs, rebuild
Linux with a minimal rootfs, and boot Linux and login.
- Lab: Building the Boot System Lab – Analyze the starting point of the kernel,
analyze the boot messages, add 1st stage Boot loader, add U-Boot, boot Linux
with U-Boot, and boot Linux with a NFS rootfs.
- Lab: Adding Custom IP Lab – Program a Hello World kernel module, compile
external kernel modules, and program passing arguments to the kernel module.
