On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds posted the now famous Usenet message announcing he was building a free operating system. In the 30 years since, that operating system – Linux – has become the most important open source software project in history, powering all supercomputers, serving as the backbone of the cloud and internet, running a majority of mobile phones and mainframe computers, and even operating on the International Space Station.

After all this time Linux is more important than ever. In fact, the 2020 Open Source Jobs Report from The Linux Foundation and edX found that Linux is the most in demand skill amongst technical hiring managers. This is largely due to rapidly growing adoption of cloud technologies which run on Linux. 

To celebrate 30 years of Linux, and to help more individuals become successful, productive members of the Linux community, Linux Foundation Training & Certification is discounting some of our most popular Linux training courses and certification exams through the end of 2021 by 30% with code LINUX30, including:

Certifications:

• Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate (LFCA) – Demonstrates knowledge of fundamental IT concepts including operating systems, software application installation and management, hardware installation, use of the command line and basic programming, basic networking functions, security best practices, and other related topics to validate your capability and preparedness for an entry-level IT position.
• Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) – Demonstrates you have the ability to design, install, configure, and manage a system installation, and understand key concepts such as networking, storage, security, maintenance, logging and monitoring, application lifecycle, troubleshooting, API object primitives and the ability to establish basic use-cases for end users. The discount is valid for the standalone exam or bundled with the associated training course.
• Linux Foundation Certified Engineer (LFCE) – Demonstrates your ability to deploy and configure the Linux operating system at enterprise scale, and shows you possess all the necessary skills to work as a Linux engineer. The discount is valid for the standalone exam or bundled with the associated training course.

eLearning Courses:

• Essentials of Linux System Administration (LFS201) – In this eLearning course, you’ll learn how to administer, configure and upgrade Linux systems running one of the three major Linux distribution families (Red Hat, SUSE, Debian/Ubuntu). You’ll also learn all the tools and concepts you need to efficiently build and manage a production Linux infrastructure. This course also serves as preparation for the LFCS exam.
• Linux Networking and Administration (LFS211) – In this eLearning course, you will learn how to design, deploy and maintain a network running under Linux; how to administer the network services; the skills to create and operate a network in any major Linux distribution; how to securely configure the network interfaces; and how to deploy and configure file, web, email and name servers. This course also serves as preparation for the LFCE exam.

Instructor-led course now includes hands-on labs with a RISC-V based emulated development target

By Behan Webster

We are surrounded by electronic devices that make the modern world work. Almost all of these devices and the systems they run are “Embedded Systems”, which are small purpose-built computers designed to solve specific problems. These computers don’t look like what most people think of as a computer; they don’t have a keyboard, mouse nor monitor. They might even be hidden in normal, everyday objects that you use around the house. The reality is that many of the more powerful embedded systems are running Linux and any “smart devices” around your home or work are almost certainly running embedded Linux.

Embedded systems tend to be smaller, resource-constrained, power-limited, and have a very defined and narrow purpose. Among things, they are your TV, internet modem, wifi access point, smart thermostat, car infotainment system, or home automation system. Everything from smart parking meters to security systems, to the drink dispensers in the cafeteria, and so much of the industrial automation that manufacture and deliver all the things that drive our modern lives, are embedded systems; the vast majority of which run Embedded Linux.

However, all of those things, despite doing different things, work roughly the same way. They tend to have an embedded CPU (often an ARM, MIPS, or increasingly RISC-V), RAM and flash storage, a power budget and a limited number of things that they have to do flawlessly. They all have to power up in a similar way, from boot-loader to configuring the kernel, which brings up the software which makes up the operating system, which in turn runs the application software that makes the device do what it was designed to do.

In the Linux Foundation Training course “Embedded Linux Development“, we cover all the base technologies that are used to build an embedded system and use hands on labs using a RISC-V embedded target to exercise those skills. We start with building an appropriate cross-compiler for the platform, then move on to building, configuring, and extending the boot loader. Building and customizing the Linux kernel, choosing drivers, and making decisions as to what should be included in order to make the system do what it needs to do is next. And then a lot of time is used to discuss how the main operating system should be configured, built, and assembled such that it will meet the needs of your eventual application.

By taking participants through the paces of building up an embedded Linux target from scratch, we ensure they leave with an understanding of the makeup of an embedded system, and how to go down the path of replicating that work in order to build their own device.
