TimeSys Expands Educational Webinar Series for Embedded Linux Development

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TimeSys Corporation (http://www.timesys.com), the leading developer service provider for the embedded Linux market, is adding more sessions to its popular series of educational webinars for embedded Linux developers. Running through March and April, the new topics cover best practices for embedded Linux development through an examination of project risk and the benefits of a common toolset. Later sessions in the series look at technology choices for developers building devices with a graphical interface and an in-depth look at the QEMU processor emulator.

These new sessions complement the dozens of webinars TimeSys has held over the past year. Past topics have covered a wide variety of embedded Linux topics for all skill levels and each session is available for playback. Archives of past webinars are available at http://lldn.timesys.com/webinars.

Using LinuxLink to Reduce Project Risk

A detailed discussion around the risks in an embedded Linux
project and how using LinuxLink addresses those risks.
Enumerates the risk points, some less obvious than others,
that every project manager responsible for an embedded Linux
deliverable should know and understand. Shows what LinuxLink
offers to mitigate risks without the loss of freedom typical of
traditional embedded Linux distributions.

Adopting a Common Embedded Linux Toolset

Managers of engineering divisions using open source frequently
find their departments wrestling with issues around managing
several different Linux distributions. Some solutions may be
created from scratch, others based on an open source
distribution, while others from a commercial vendor. TimeSys
understands and embraces this model by providing a flexible
tool set designed to integrate into an existing project while
still providing all of the necessary components for new
projects.

Building an Embedded device with a GUI

Evaluates the alternatives you can use to create an embedded
device with a GUI. This session covers several different
approaches, providing the details you need to select the right
approach for your next project. The webinar will include a
hands-on example of using open source components to create a
GUI-based platform for a typical embedded board.

QEMU for Embedded Linux Engineers

QEMU may be the most important project that you haven't heard of
yet. QEMU is a processor emulator that has quietly been making
strides in supporting architectures used by embedded engineers,
so you can run your natively compiled PowerPC or ARM code on
your x86 development host, or even run the "native" gcc
compiler on a much faster host system, eliminating the
pitfalls behind cross-compiling. The webinar will discuss QEMU
features, processor support, benefits and drawbacks.
