Embedded Linux Systems Architecture Training Course

Buildroot is an open-source initiative providing scripts to generate a cross-compilation toolchain, a customizable root filesystem image, and a Linux kernel tailored for embedded devices. In this hands-on course, participants will learn how to utilize Buildroot to:

• Select the software components included in the root filesystem.
• Add new packages and modify existing ones.
• Integrate support for new embedded boards.

Throughout the course, participants will produce bootable filesystem images. Remote sessions utilize the QEMU emulator, while in-person classes allow for the use of either QEMU or real embedded boards chosen by the instructor.

Other projects with similar objectives include the Yocto Project and OpenWRT. Please consult these presentations to determine which tool best suits your requirements.

Domain Driven Design (DDD) is a methodology for managing complex behaviors during software development.

This training course on Enterprise Architect is tailored for individuals looking to utilize Sparx Systems' UML modeling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modeling tasks but who are not yet familiar with its features, functions, and usage.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental exam evaluates the knowledge and abilities needed to create a fundamental SysML model of a system. The assessment encompasses model concepts and organization, initial requirement capture and management, structural and behavioral modeling, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the application of stereotypes. By applying the skills acquired at this level alongside familiarity with an appropriate SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be able to contribute effectively to modeling tasks carried out by a Systems Engineering team utilizing a model-based systems engineering approach with SysML.  This certification serves as a prerequisite for the program's two advanced levels, while itself requiring the OCSMP Model User Certification as its foundational prerequisite. 

This examination (along with others in the OCSMP series) assesses your capability to apply the listed knowledge and skills within the context of a system model. During your preparation, move beyond individual diagrams to understand how the aspects modeled in one diagram can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types. 

In this instructor-led, live training in Brazil (online or onsite), participants will learn how to utilize SysML within Enterprise Architect (EA) to perform system requirements analysis and modeling.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Understanding and applying SysML to Systems Engineering projects through a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identifying system requirements by leveraging use case models.
• Designing and analyzing system architecture.

This hands-on training course demonstrates how to effectively utilize the SysML modeling language. Participants will explore block diagrams for the structural modeling of complex systems. The curriculum also covers sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams to enhance dynamic modeling capabilities. Additionally, learners will gain proficiency in specific SysML diagrams, such as requirements and parametric diagrams, along with the critical concept of allocation. The course emphasizes the importance of defining a modeling approach tailored to the company's context and the type of system under study. Finally, it reviews the current landscape of SysML modeling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers who need to model complex systems comprising both software and hardware components.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentations supported by examples
• Case study analysis on paper (including a SysML tool demonstration by the instructor)

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop focuses on problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. During the training, participants will explore the tool's advanced capabilities (such as MDA, profiles, and XMI) and learn best practices that significantly simplify and accelerate the modeling process.

Since the training centers on the Enterprise Architect tool, it is a prerequisite for participants to already possess UML modeling knowledge. For those who wish to learn modeling from scratch, we offer dedicated UML training courses.

Training Methodology

10% Lecture, 90% Hands-on Workshop

Designed for business analysts, managers, team leads, and process owners, this course equips participants with the necessary competencies to create use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools serve as an effective means to elicit, analyze, document, and communicate functional requirements. Participants will practice creating use cases using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to visually represent interactions between use cases and actors.

In this instructor-led live training in Brazil, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on the Yocto Project.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts behind a Yocto Project build system, including recipes, metadata, and layers.
• Build a Linux image and run it under emulation.
• Save time and energy building embedded Linux systems.

Description

This four-day training blends theoretical concepts with practical exercises to introduce participants to the Yocto Project.
It addresses common inquiries, such as:

• Is it truly necessary to employ a distinct version of the toolchain, libraries, or packages for every GNU/Linux project, alongside adhering to a different workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains identical for all developers and suppliers, ensuring that builds produced today will remain reproducible in ten or more years?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses applicable to the packages you utilize?

Practical sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Upon completion of the training, you will receive access to a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with example files, enabling you to engage with the course material in your own lab environment. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux. Participants should already possess a fundamental understanding of how Embedded GNU/Linux operates, including the ability to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for those who already use GNU/Linux in their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it in depth or found it challenging to utilize effectively. If you are uncertain about integrating your daily workflow into the YP and generally perceive the YP as overly complicated, wondering why such complexity is necessary when things have traditionally been simpler, this training will help you determine whether the YP is right for you. The workshop is designed for software developers, systems engineers, testers, administrators, and other interested parties with a solid grounding in Embedded GNU/Linux.
