Online Buildroot Training in the UAE

Buildroot is an open-source initiative that provides scripts to generate a cross-compilation toolchain, a customizable root filesystem image, and a Linux kernel tailored for embedded devices. Throughout this practical course, participants will learn how to utilize it effectively:

• Selecting software components for inclusion in the root filesystem.
• Adding new packages and making modifications to existing ones.
• Incorporating support for various embedded boards.

The course will result in the creation of bootable filesystem images. For remote sessions, the QEMU emulator is used, whereas classroom settings may utilize either QEMU or actual embedded boards chosen by the instructor.

Other comparable projects include the Yocto project and OpenWRT. To decide which one suits your requirements best, please refer to these presentations and this document.
