Linux booting and hardware management
Have you ever considered how a device running Linux can go from a lifeless piece of silicon into something that can run Minecraft or check if there is a cat in the picture?
Join a webinar “Linux booting and hardware management”, conducted by Karol Przybylski, Hardware Integration Engineer at Nokia. You will have a chance to examine different stages of booting and take a closer look at initramfs.
We’ll also look at how hardware is represented by the kernel, how it can be managed from userspace and how device nodes are created. Content will be focused around embedded devices, however most information will also apply to desktop distributions.
Table of contents:
- Overview of Linux boot process – from flipping the power switch to a login prompt, with a closer look at initramfs
- Hardware initialization and managing device nodes in userspace
- Kernel device drivers – overview of anatomy and practical demo
- Tips and tricks on debugging and finding reliable information
