Embedded Linux Systems Architecture Training Course

Buildroot is an open-source project that provides 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 these capabilities:

• Selecting the software packages to include in the root filesystem.
• Adding new packages and modifying existing ones.
• Adding support for new embedded hardware boards.

Participants will produce bootable filesystem images during the course. Remote sessions utilize the QEMU emulator, while in-person classes may use either QEMU or actual embedded boards selected by the instructor.

Other projects with similar objectives include the Yocto project and OpenWRT. Please review these presentations to help determine which solution best fits your specific requirements.

This training will teach you how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. You will particularly explore block diagrams for the structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen your knowledge of the sequence diagram, state machine diagram, and activity diagram for dynamic modeling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the importance of defining a modeling approach tailored to the company's context and the type of system being studied. Hands-on practice will be conducted using NoMagic's modeling tool, Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw).

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to create a basic SysML model of a system. The exam covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. By combining the knowledge and skills covered at this level with proficiency in a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led, live training in South Korea (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modeling.

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

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

This hands-on training demonstrates how to effectively utilize the SysML modeling language. You will explore block diagrams for the structural modeling of complex systems. Additionally, you will deepen your understanding of sequence, state, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. The course also covers specialized SysML diagrams, such as requirements and parametric diagrams, along with the critical concept of allocation. We will emphasize the importance of defining a modeling approach tailored to your organization's context and the specific type of system under study. Finally, we will review the current landscape of SysML modeling tools.

Target Audience:

Project managers, architects, and systems engineers involved in modeling complex systems that encompass both software and hardware components.

Instructional Approach:

• Theoretical lectures supported by practical examples
• Hands-on case study (trainer-led demonstration of a SysML tool)

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

The workshop covers problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. Participants will explore the program's advanced capabilities, such as Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), profiles, and XMI, along with best practices that significantly simplify and accelerate the modeling process.

Since the training emphasizes the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling knowledge. For those wishing to learn modeling from scratch, we offer dedicated UML training courses.

Training Methodology

Lecture: 10%, Workshop: 90%

This course is designed for business analysts, managers, team leads, and process owners to provide them with the required competencies for creating use case diagrams and use case scenarios, which serve as a vehicle for eliciting, analyzing, documenting and communicating functional requirements. Delegates will practice creating use cases in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to graphically represent the interactions between use cases and actors.

In this instructor-led, live training in South Korea, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on 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 knowledge with practical exercises to introduce the Yocto Project.
It addresses frequently asked questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to utilize different versions of toolchains, libraries, and packages for every GNU/Linux project, alongside managing distinct workflows?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains identical for all developers and suppliers, allowing you to reproduce identical builds over a decade from now?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses under which the packages you utilize are distributed?

Hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Following the training, you will be able to download a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with examples, to enable 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. Participants should already understand how Embedded GNU/Linux operates and know how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is for individuals who already use GNU/Linux in their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but hesitated to explore it further or found it difficult to use. It is suitable for those who are unsure whether and how their daily workflows can integrate with the YP and who generally find the YP complex. It addresses the question: Why adopt this complexity when previous methods were (supposedly) simpler? After completing the training, you will be equipped to determine if the YP meets your needs. The workshop targets software developers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals with a solid understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux.
