Free Training for Students in India.

Open “Embedded Linux” Software Development with Beagleboard.org

We are receiving more invites/requests from students across India for similar trainings. We are happy to know the interest but due to limited bandwidth we are finding it difficult to host similar trainings in other cities.

To address growing requests from students in India, we have formed a beagleboard.org volunteer team that is willing to travel to few cities (to start with South India) and do similar trainings.

Few Perquisites / Requirements are:

1. We would like students to do the following necessary arrangements

a) Consolidate the (min 100) student list (from multiple colleges preferable)

b) Mail the list to khasim@beagleboard.org
b) Students from 2nd year are most preferable
c) Arrange for a seminar hall, projector system and basic infrastructure for attendees.
d) Get necessary permissions from College.

2. No Compulsion from College/Professors - attendance should be based on interest.

3. Topics to be covered are

  • What, why, who, and how of open source
  • Quick overview of the Beagle Board
  • OMAP 3530 internals.
  • How does Beagleboard.org help students & startups in India
  • Q &A and Discuss lab setup to boot Linux on beagleboard
  • Lab #1 (Build and Boot Linux)
  • Validation Procedure for Peripherals on Beagle Board
  • Participating and Contributing to Open Community
  • Open Discussion

4. Agenda:

  • Enable Students in India to develop s/w on embedded devices with Open Community.
  • Training students in using the embedded platform for s/w development
  • Give a big picture of what’s going on in the industry with Open Platforms.
  • Benefits of working with Open Community and beagleboard.org in particular.

5. Audience & expertise:

  • Students (2nd / 3rd year preferable) with very minimal knowledge of Linux
  • Students who are passionate about Open Source Linux kernel and s/w development for embedded platforms.

6. KINDLY NOTE

  • This training covers only basic and fundamentals of embedded systems and Open Source Software development with BEAGLE BOARD

7. Video's from previous events

I will start traveling again from Feb. Kindly Note, the travels and trainings are personal so kindly schedule this over weekend so that it doesn't affect the regular work.

I am looking for an open calendar where you can request your sessions. Let me check if Google calendar can be made open.

Thanks for your interest.

Comment by aggarwal.sanyam, Jan 29, 2009

Hi Mr.Khasim,

I am Sanyam Agarwal from Pune. I came to know about your community from "Linux for u" magazine. I joined this community at the end of December. I had seen, you provide free training on embedded Linux with your ARM cortex core board. I had gone through the syllabus of your training, and eager to learn. Therefore we build our community of around 30 persons (i.e. students plus some job professional having less than 1 year of experience) in order to take training from you plus we want to buy that board “USB-powered beagle board”. For the training you had mentioned about arranging the hall, projector etc. For that there is one company “Comptrix solution private Limited” they are funding our community in order to purchase the board as well as arranging the hall, projector etc. So we welcome you at our place for the training and I hope we will make out a fruitful result out of that.

I am waiting for your reply and hope to see the positive feedback from your side.

My gmail id is aggarwal.sanyam@gmail.com

Thanks & Regards

Sanyam Agarwal

Comment by aggarwal.sanyam, Feb 04, 2009

Hi Mr. Khasim

Thanks a lot for your reply

It will be fine for us, if you would visit our centre in March (around 15th). But if possible, can you do it as early as possible and, as I mentioned in my previous mail that we want to buy the board too (i.e. USB-powered beagle board), so could you bring the board with you so that we can buy it instantly.

It will be very helpful for us if you can provide the price quotes of that board, so when you will visit our place at that time will not be any problem regarding price because Comptrix solutions private Limited company is helping us in order to purchase that board. Therefore we need to inform them also regarding the same.

My gmail id is aggarwal.sanyam@gmail.com

Thanks & Regards Sanyam Agarwal

Damn TI are you ignoring US and Canadian Beagle board users? Why all the love for india? When and where can Canadian students get beagle board free linux training? At least Microsoft and Adobe provide this in Canada.

It would be very kind of you, if you can just have a coverage video of what is being thought and put up in youtube or anywhere (the video of whole morning to evening session since sessions cannot be done everywhere), everyone would be benefited. -regards ravi kumar
