LynxOS Real-time Applications and Device Driver Programming WorkshopPOSIX real-time programming and device-driver training

PRINTABLE PDF BROCHURE (334 kB)

Responding to industry demand, this new course features a full four days of hands-on labs, programming with POSIX®, and device-driver development for LynxOS real-time systems.

For the hands-on labs, students choose between Windows and Linux (RHE4) host systems, as desired. LynxOS versions 4.2 and 5.0 are both at students' disposal.

Our next course is being planned now. Please contact a Training Coordinator.

Embedded system training schedules

Most courses begin at 9 h and end at 17 h. Students should arrive at least 15 minutes early.

Embedded system training workshops are held at the LynuxWorks training center in San José, California, and in Saint-Cyr-l'École, France (Paris area). Workshops in France may be conducted in French or English, according to customer demand.

More courses are being planned. View a schedule. Contact one of our Training Coordinators for more information or to register. Sign up to our mailing list to receive announcements of future courses as they are announced.

Customized training is also regularly conducted at regional and customer locations. To arrange hands-on training at your facility, please contact one of our Training Coordinators.
