Embedded Linux Step by Step Using Beaglebone Black (Udemy.com)

Kiran is an excellent instructor and exactly the kind of teacher students hope to learn from. His courses, including this one, are consistently high quality and provide valuable, practical information. Thank you, and please keep creating more courses.

Good course to start your embedded Linux Journey. Step by step guides really helped me understanding booting sequence and many more topics. It is a lengthy course so hard to remember things coming back after sometimes/days and if you are not using the concepts or commands. Good also to learn command line prompts.

Content is very good and detailed explanation has been given but at some points practicals were not syncing, some steps were left, someplace very fastly moved due to which I faced multiple difficulties. I know this is an old course but response to queries is not fast and still so many questions unresolved in the Q&A.

content wise course is good, but if we are having queries/ facing issues during installion. then we dont get support / help from the course support staff. they should provide reply to our queries atleast after 1 week from the time query is asked, as they say support delayed is support denied

Very thorough introduction to embedded Linux. Lectures run at a good steady pace, instructions are clear and well thought out and the learning curve is very even. Introduces a number of very useful general concepts that are not necessarily tied to the hardware. Recommended.

I have been rejuvenated by taking this basic step by step Embedded Linux course to leaving the knowledge on the embedded domain. I'm really ecstatic to learn more about embedded Linux for my embedded developer career to the next level. The instructor is simply fantastic to prepare the course in such a best way to understand. I will be refreshing this course until strong in the fundamental of Embedded Linux. Thanks to Udemy.

This is he best Udemy course I have taken. It is a very good overview. Remember to become good at embedded Linux you have to work at it, but this gives you a launch point in all topics. Now when working with your particular custom situation, you can make educated approaches, if you google you will be able to understand the specific detail responses.

A lot of time spent on looking at online data sheets and board peripherals, which could have summarised into a few minutes.

This is a nice course for embedded linux. But, the teaching assistance gave too many wrong/irrelevant answers.

simply amazing

Kiran is an EXCELLENT instructor. I have purchased several of his courses and been favorably impressed with his presentation, pace, information, material, spoken English, and knowledge. There are many errors in written English material that, using a standard word processor, would make the presentation polished, but I'm not going to dock Kiaran for that. The course assistants are marginally helpful and don't really get to the bottom of the questions, but I suspect they are swamped with requests. Otherwise, I am greatly benefiting from this course.
The key parts of the course, to me, were understanding:
1. How Linux boots on the BBB
2. How to generate the Linux distribution file for SD, eMMC, and remote booting (TFTP, Serial, SD Card, NFS in particular)
2. How to compile all source code (Kernel, First and Second-stage bootloaders,
3. How U-BOOT works and how to compile.
4. The layout of the boot loaders and kernel source
5. Busybox use
6. Application programming.
7. Buildroot use and compiling.
There are so many more aspects of this course that I found useful. The only topic lacking is YOCTO. That is covered by other courses but I suspect Kiran may add that topic.
I highly recommend this course if you are trying to understand Embedded Linux. The content dwarfs many much more expensive equivalents.

It's a great course explaining foundation of embedded Linux with use of BBB board. Additionally some embedded programming cases are covered to show us what we can do next. I really recommend that course for everybody - even with no experience with Linux/Embedded Linux!
