A short overview. The full syllabus is on the course page.
Embedded Linux is the Linux operating system running inside devices rather than on desktop PCs – routers…
Why Embedded Linux & Yocto suits Katpadi. Katpadi Junction is one of the busiest railway junctions in the region, and the VIT campus and many colleges are close by, so Katpadi has a large student and working population. Engineering students around Katpadi, Vellore and Ranipet can build Linux and driver skills close to home and apply to embedded and semiconductor teams in Chennai and Bengaluru, both a short trip along the corridor.
Pick the level that matches your goal. Each level ends with a project.

Start with the 64-hour Course on Embedded Linux if you are new to Linux programming – it covers the shell, processes, threads, IPC, drivers and Raspberry Pi. Take the 40-hour Yocto course after that, or directly if you already work with embedded Linux and need to build custom images. Linux Administration and Internals or Internet of Things are useful companion courses.
You should know C programming basics such as pointers, functions and structures. For the Yocto course, prior comfort with the Linux command line and some embedded Linux exposure is recommended.
Roles and industries are typical for this skill. We do not guarantee jobs or salaries.
All three centres teach Embedded Linux & Yocto. Choose the one that is easiest for you to reach by bus or train: distances are straight-line estimates from Katpadi and do not show bus routes. Prefer not to travel? Every course is also taught live online.
