Linux Foundation & AC6 Launch New Live Virtual Course
Linux Foundation Education, in collaboration with AC6, have announced the launch of Zephyr RTOS Programming (AC6401), a new instructor-led training course designed to help embedded developers master one of the fastest-growing real-time operating systems in the world. Designed for embedded systems engineers or technicians, as well as developers transitioning from Embedded Linux, bare-metal programming, or traditional RTOS environments. A solid background in C programming and familiarity with multithreading concepts is recommended.
Zephyr RTOS Programming (AC6401) equips IT professionals to take on advanced roles in embedded development, IoT firmware engineering, and real-time application architecture. With Zephyr adoption accelerating across industries, professionals who can harness its full potential will stand out in a competitive job market.
Over five days, Zephyr RTOS Programming (AC6401) moves from fundamentals to advanced system design, guided by expert instruction. Multiple hands-on labs and real-world examples help ensure not just comprehension, but confidence. Participants will learn to:
- Develop, configure, debug, and trace Zephyr applications
- Use and extend devicetree and Kconfig
- Apply real-time multitasking concepts in Zephyr
- Work with west, including writing custom manifests
- Understand the Zephyr kernel services and ecosystem
- Implement communication and synchronization mechanisms
- Manage memory and data structures in Zephyr
- Distinguish between user mode and kernel mode
- Write device trees and develop Zephyr drivers
- Integrate and use common Zephyr subsystems
Upon completion, participants will be ready to architect, debug, and deploy production-grade Zephyr-based solutions.
Zephyr RTOS Programming (AC6401) is a five day, live, virtual, instructor-led course with extensive hands-on labs. Participants also have access to our discussion forum, enabling them to interact with peers and experts. Those who successfully complete the course receive a certificate of completion.
