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 leverage Buildroot for the following purposes:

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

Throughout the course, participants will produce bootable filesystem images. Remote sessions utilize the QEMU emulator, while classroom settings allow for the use of either QEMU or actual embedded boards selected by the instructor.

Other projects with similar objectives include the Yocto Project and OpenWRT. Please refer to these presentations to determine which tool best suits your needs.

This instructor-led live training in Turkey (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level system administrators who wish to develop skills in Linux administration 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-based operating system built upon OpenWrt. It serves as a comprehensive replacement for the default firmware provided by manufacturers across a broad spectrum of wireless routers and non-networking devices.

During this instructor-led live training, participants will acquire the skills needed to configure a LEDE-powered wireless router.

Master the art of developing applications within the Linux environment. This instructor-led course provides hands-on experience with the essential tools and methodologies required for Linux application development, while highlighting the distinctive features and techniques inherent to Linux.

This program equips you with the skills to containerize, host, deploy, and configure applications within a multi-node cluster. It is also designed to prepare you for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) certification exam.

Linux system administration stands as one of the most sought-after skills in the IT sector. Whether your goal is to prepare expertly for the Linux Foundation Certified System Administration (LFCS) certification, launch a new career in Linux IT, transition from another platform to Linux, or simply refresh your sysadmin competencies, this instructor-led course covers all the essential knowledge you require.

This instructor-led, live training in Turkey (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 Turkey (online or onsite), is designed for individuals who want to develop essential Linux skills.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

administer, configure, and upgrade Linux systems across the three major Linux distribution families (Debian/Ubuntu and Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora), and master the tools and concepts required to efficiently build and manage an enterprise Linux infrastructure.

This instructor-led program guides you through the various risks and threats present in the landscape, demonstrating how to leverage best practices and open-source tools to mitigate or counteract these dangers. It also equips you with the essential knowledge to detect and recover from incidents that occur.

Ensuring your Linux systems operate at peak efficiency is an essential responsibility for most Linux IT professionals. This course provides instruction on the necessary tools, subsystems, and methodologies required to extract the maximum performance from Linux environments.

This course explores the fundamental principles commonly employed to build and manage a Kubernetes cluster within a production environment, utilizing vendor-neutral tools. Participants will construct a cluster, define network settings, scale the infrastructure, deploy applications, and configure essential components such as storage, security, and other objects required for standard operations. This curriculum provides exposure to the wide array of skills needed to administer Kubernetes in a production setting and serves as excellent preparation for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification exam.

This instructor-led course provides a comprehensive skill set and knowledge base covering best practices for securing container-based applications and Kubernetes platforms throughout the build, deployment, and runtime phases.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) targets intermediate to advanced system administrators and automation engineers who aim to automate configuration, orchestration, and application delivery across hybrid enterprise environments.

In this instructor-led, live training located in Turkey, 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 instruction with practical exercises to introduce participants to the Yocto Project.
It addresses common questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to utilize a separate toolchain, library, and package set for every GNU/Linux project, alongside a distinct workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains consistent across all developers and suppliers, allowing for the production of identical builds today and in over a decade?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses governing the packages you utilize?

Practical sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., BeagleBone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Upon completing the training, you will receive a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies and examples pre-installed, enabling you to work with the course materials in your own lab environment. Please note that this is not an introductory course for Embedded GNU/Linux. Participants should already possess a foundational understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux, including how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for individuals who already use GNU/Linux for their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but hesitated to explore it further or encountered difficulties when using it. If you are unsure whether and how the YP can fit into your daily workflow, or if you find the YP overly complex and question the need for it when previous methods seemed simpler, this training will help you decide whether the YP is necessary for your needs. The workshop is intended for software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other interested parties who have a solid knowledge of Embedded GNU/Linux.
