A comprehensive journey through professional Embedded Linux development
This repository documents my complete journey through an intensive Embedded Linux Diploma program. The curriculum covers the full spectrum of embedded Linux development, from low-level system programming and kernel internals to building custom Linux distributions with Yocto and Buildroot. Each project and lab exercise demonstrates practical, hands-on experience with real-world embedded systems challenges.
The program emphasizes:
- Deep technical understanding of Linux kernel architecture and internals
- Practical implementation through comprehensive labs and projects
- Industry-standard tools and best practices in embedded development
- Hardware-software integration from bootloader to application layer
