TimeSys Corp is extending its free, interactive, educational webinar series to cover specific technical topics of interest in the embedded Linux market Each session will target a particular focus area with the opportunity for delegates to interact with the technical area experts from TimeSys

The webinar series has been extended based on the popularity of previous sessions and feedback provided by participants in the Developer Exchange, the online, interactive forum available to LinuxLink subscribers.

A broad range of topics are covered in this series.

"LinuxLink: moving beyond the embedded distro" is an introductory LinuxLink webinar for users who have worked with a free or commercial embedded Linux distribution before.

TimeSys walks through an embedded Linux development cycle that demonstrates how LinuxLink can be used effectively to start embedded development and help designers to be productive as they execute their projects.

Topics include patching and compiling the Linux kernel, assembling a root file system (RFS) from precompiled binary rev/mins, crosscompiling a source rev/min, adding it to an RFS and more.

The webinar will be held on Thursday 13th April 2006 at 1800 BST.

"Get running: Cygwin essentials: Embedded Linux development using Windows hosts" will be held on Tuesday 18th April 2006 at 1800 BST.

Cygwin has become a popular choice for many embedded Linux developers who need access to Linux development tools and utilities, but prefer to use Windows as the development platform for other reasons.

This webinar walks the audience through the process of setting up a cygwin based host environment for embedded Linux development.

The session will step through the process of installing (or updating) cygwin distributions, setting up host services, and troubleshooting commonly encountered problems in this process.

"Making Linux work in a tiny Flash" is the topic for Tuesday 25th April 2006, also at 1800 BST.

This webinar will guide delegates through the process of customising the Linux kernel, the Linux root file system, and configuration of packages such as uclibc and busybox to meet footprint needs.

Finally, at 1800 BST on Tuesday 2nd May 2006, the webinar will describe how to "Create a kernel and root file system for your evaluationboard".

This webinar will explain how to speed and simplify RFS configuration by learning how to create and debug a Linux kernel loadable kernel module, and RFS and see how to design and optimise target RFS images for an application.
