  • Kernel fifo & common operations

• Excellent C programming, Data structures (Linked list & Queues), Linux command line, OS concepts (like files & processes).

• This course is not intended to learn Linux device drivers, but is pre-requisite if you are planning to learn Linux device driver.
• Even though there will be a little discussion on kernel customization, this course doesn’t cover Linux kernel customization or Linux kernel porting on embedded devices.
• Based on Q&A, webinar time may get extended for an hour. Please consider this.

• Preparing foundations for Linux device drivers (Every device driver is a kernel module).
• Understanding the difference between kernel space and user space programming.
• Ability to develop kernel modules and understand few data structures in the kernel.

The webinar on Linux kernel module programming was really amazing and helpful. It provided really very good insight for learning linux device driver. Looking forward for another training session related to the same. 

Even if duration of webinar is two days only but it has guided me a lot about subject & even get clarity about self-questions like how & what to study in Linux Kernel Module Programming for long duration. It always worth attending courses at Sunbeam because they always give much more than expectations !
Thanks,

Mr. Nilesh Ghule is really a good tutor. Am working as Embedded developer and looking to progress in Linux and RTOS. This webinar encouraged me lot for it.

Very clear explanation and uptodate - it has broaden my understanding of linux kernels module
