OpenBMC Fundamentals: Building and Customizing BMC Firmware Training Course

Buildroot is an open-source project comprising scripts that 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 utilise Buildroot effectively:

• How to select software to include in the root filesystem.
• How to add new packages and modify existing ones.
• How to add support for new embedded boards.

Throughout the course, participants will produce bootable filesystem images. Remote courses are delivered using the QEMU emulator, while in-person sessions allow the use of either QEMU or real embedded boards at the trainer's discretion.

Other projects with similar objectives include the Yocto project and OpenWRT. Please consult these presentations to help determine which solution best suits your needs.

This instructor-led live training in Portugal (online or on-site) targets intermediate system administrators who wish to develop Linux administration skills using CentOS.

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

• Install and configure CentOS 8.
• Manage users and groups, control, and monitor system processes.
• Configure network services and security.
• Implement storage solutions and perform system maintenance and troubleshooting.

The LEDE Project (Linux Embedded Development Environment) is a Linux operating system built upon OpenWrt. It serves as a full replacement for vendor-supplied firmware across a broad spectrum of wireless routers and non-network devices.

In this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to set up a LEDE-based wireless router.

Audience

• Network administrators and technicians

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Master the art of developing applications within the Linux environment. In this instructor-led programme, you will gain practical experience with the essential tools and methodologies for Linux application development, while exploring the distinctive features and techniques inherent to Linux.

This course provides training on how to containerize, host, deploy, and configure applications within a multi-node cluster. It also acts as preparation for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam.

Linux system administration is one of the most in-demand skills in IT. Whether you’re looking for expert prep for the Linux Foundation Certified System Administration (LFCS) certification, need training to help start a new Linux IT career, transition to Linux from another platform, or you’re just brushing up on your sysadmin skills, this instructor-led course will teach you what you need to know.

This instructor-led, live training in Portugal (online or onsite) is aimed at individuals who want to expand their knowledge of Linux system configuration, administration, and command line environment.

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

manage networking, system services, user account creation and administration, and much more; you will also familiarize yourself with virtualization, containers, and DevOps concepts

This instructor-led, live training, available in Portugal (online or onsite), is aimed at individuals who wish to gain the necessary Linux skills.

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

administer, configure, and upgrade Linux systems running one of the three major Linux distribution families: Debian/Ubuntu and Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora, and master the tools and concepts needed to efficiently build and manage an enterprise Linux infrastructure.

This instructor-led course guides you through the various risks and threats that exist, demonstrates how to apply best practices and open-source tools to mitigate or counteract these threats, and teaches you the essential knowledge needed to detect and recover from attacks when they occur.

Ensuring your Linux systems operate at peak efficiency is a critical priority for most IT professionals working with Linux. This course provides instruction on the essential tools, subsystems, and methodologies required to maximise the performance potential of Linux.

This course explores the fundamental principles employed to construct and manage a Kubernetes cluster in a production environment, utilising vendor-neutral tools. We guide you through building a cluster, defining network configurations, scaling the infrastructure, deploying applications, and configuring essential components such as storage, security, and other objects required for standard operations. This programme equips learners with the diverse skill set needed to administer Kubernetes in production and serves as outstanding preparation for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) examination.

This instructor-led course provides a comprehensive range of best practices for securing container-based applications and Kubernetes platforms throughout their build, deployment, and runtime phases.

This live, instructor-led training (available online or on-site) is aimed at intermediate to advanced-level system administrators and automation engineers who wish to automate configuration, orchestration, and application delivery across hybrid enterprise environments.

In this instructor-led live training Portugal, 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 programme blends theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to introduce the Yocto Project.
It addresses frequently asked questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to utilise a different version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for every GNU/Linux project, along with adhering to a distinct workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains identical for all developers and suppliers, ensuring that builds produced today remain reproducible and identical more than ten years from now?
• Can the YP help identify the software licenses under which the packages you utilise are licensed?

Hands-on 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 a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with examples, enabling you to work with the course material in your own lab environments. Please note that this is not an introductory course for Embedded GNU/Linux. You should already possess knowledge of how Embedded GNU/Linux operates, as well as how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and kernel drivers.

Who should attend?

This training is for those who already use GNU/Linux in their projects and have likely heard about the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it further, or have encountered difficulties using it. If you are unsure whether and how your daily workflow can be adapted to the YP, and generally find the YP rather complex, questioning the necessity given that previous methods were (supposedly) simpler, this course will help you decide whether the YP is suitable for your needs. The workshop is designed for software, development, and system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals interested in the YP, provided they have a solid understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux.
