Set up an embedded Linux development environment on Ubuntu: install cross-compilers, QEMU, GDB, Yocto dependencies, and TFTP boot servers.
Explore top embedded Linux projects: build custom Yocto bootloaders, smart home IoT gateways, camera vision nodes, and real-time kernel controllers.
Flash custom Yocto Linux build images to Raspberry Pi SD cards: identify /dev/sdX disk nodes, execute dd bs=4M status=progress, and verify boot partition.
Configure Linux input event maximum axis bounds for ABS_X/ABS_Y and ABS_MT_POSITION_X/ABS_MT_POSITION_Y touchscreen drivers using evtest and libinput.
Understand Yocto Project package compilation stages: trace do_fetch, do_unpack, do_patch, do_configure, do_compile, and do_install in BitBake.
Compile a custom Linux kernel for Android AOSP on Ubuntu: setup ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE toolchain, configure defconfig, build Image.lz4-dtb.
Understand ARM ELF binary file structures: inspect section headers using readelf -S, analyze .text code, .data initialized variables, and .bss.
Cross-compile C code for embedded ARM and x86 targets: master gcc vs arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, set sysroot paths, and verify output via file command.
Debug ARM ELF binaries on x86_64 host: run qemu-arm -g 1234 ./arm_binary, attach gdb-multiarch remote target localhost:1234, and inspect registers.
