Craig's part I will teach 2 6 week blocks I will cover the Linux, ARM and C side of the course The first part will cover the TS-7300 boards and Linux. We will cover Toolchains Upgrading kernels 2.4 series Porting to 2.6 Kernel modules.
Resources The Technologic Systems' Web site has lots of resources There is a very lively Yahoo mail group My home page has some resources kenny.cems.uwe.ac.uk/~cduffy/ts7300 There are lots of sites and resources for ARM, Linux, Debian as well.
