Training The Linux Foundation

Training goals

code: TLF-LFD445

Gaining expertise in Linux kernel debugging will position you as a more versatile, knowledgeable and valuable asset to any organization while opening new career doors and helping you participate more actively in the open source community.

 

What You’ll Learn

  • You will learn techniques for local debugging by configuring a system (physical or virtual) for remote debugging from a second system and working with the basic components of the Linux kernel that underlie the built-in debugging frameworks.

 

Who Is It For

  • This course is designed for current or aspiring kernel developers, device driver developers, and anyone interested in shortening the development cycle by taking advantage of existing tools and facilities.
