Training Objective
The Linux SPI & UART Drivers Training attempts to serve multiple objectives:

• To enable participants develop the low level driver from scratch by accessing the hardware specific registers
• To enable participants develop the solid understanding of device driver fundamentals such as Device Tree Blob (DTB), Platform Drivers and Direct Memory Access (DMA)
• To enable pariticipants to understand the Linux SPI & TTY Framework
• To develop the in-depth understanding of complete end to end data/control flow from the user space to the low level

Topics Covered: (Download hands-on & content details)

• Writing a low level SPI & UART Driver from scratch
• Understanding SPI framework & its components such as SPI Master, SPI Client Device & the Driver.
• Understanding TTY framework in Linux Kernel
• Integrating Low level driver with the respective frameworks
• Achieving efficient data transfer using Direct Memory Access (DMA)

NB With extensive hands-on Beagle Bone Black
