3. The hardware We are using the Technologic Systems TS- 7300 board  This has an 200 MHz Cirrus ARM9 CPU  An Altera Cyclone II FPGA  It runs Linux 2.4.26 kernel – it uses a Debian distribution file system  2 SD card slots, 2 Ethernet ports, USB, VGA graphics, 10 serial ports

4. 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.

5. Resources The Technologic Systems' Web site has lots of resources  www.embeddedarm.com www.embeddedarm.com 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.
