Getting Started with Yocto: Meeting the challenge of Embedded Linux deployment

Toradex's partner, Doulos, brings forth an interesting training webinar, which delves into how a minimal Linux system can be extended to include custom, packaged software. Doulos demonstrates how standard Linux tools, such as gdbserver or the Target Communication Framework agent (TCF agent), drops out of the build system and can be used in a stand-alone SDK. In the process, key concepts of the Yocto Project build system such as recipes, tasks, and layers will be introduced. A board from the Toradex Colibri Arm family of System on Modules will be used as an example platform.
The webinar covers the following topics:

• Managed Linux distributions
• The Yocto build system
• Creating custom software packages
• Application development and systems development SDKs
• Example BSP support

Build your own OTA-updatable Embedded Linux Distribution from Prototype to Production

The world of embedded Linux is changing rapidly, and being able to update every piece of software over-the-air (OTA) is fast becoming a requirement industry-wide. This brings more complexity to an already complex market, and many are wondering how to approach this issue without reinventing the wheel each time.

In this session, we will demonstrate how Torizon can be used with Foundries.io to securely build, deploy, and test an embedded product for the duration of its deployment. By the end of the session, you will understand how to integrate Foundries.io OTA services with Torizon, produce a platform image, test it on hardware, and deploy it to devices in the field.

AI2GO: A New, Self-Serve Platform for Deploying AI at the Edge

Traditional deep learning models require large amounts of computing power, so deploying at the edge has required either expensive hardware or a constant connection to the cloud. Xnor’s new AI2GO platform enables enterprises and individual developers to easily deploy hyper-efficient deep learning models onto edge devices. AI2GO hosts hundreds of Xnor's pre-trained AI models that are tuned for specific hardware targets, use cases, and performance characteristics to fit different needs. There are a variety of models for computer vision tasks like object and person detection, image segmentation, and action classification, that run on a selection of low power hardware such as the Toradex Apalis System on Module with the NXP® i.MX 6 and i.MX 8 SoCs.

Webinar: Managing Devices with Linux Device Drivers

In this webinar, we investigate the why and how of managing peripheral devices in an Arm-based embedded Linux system. Although this is a huge and complex subject area, we can still introduce some of the key concepts and start to appreciate the steps involved in writing a device driver.
Content Summary:

• How devices are represented in the device-tree description
• The basic framework used for a Linux kernel device driver
• Fundamentals of device driver programming, including interrupt handling and memory
• How devices can be managed from user-space and a comparison with kernel-based management
• Some of the tools and techniques available for debugging device drivers.

The webinar has been produced using NXP based iMX SoCs - however the concepts are fully SoC independent.
