    Linux Kernel and C library. The basic components of a Linux Embedded System, including kernel and root filesystem details are discussed. The
    Buildroot build system is introduced, which students use to build their own custom Embedded Linux system through programming assignments.

    It's an excellent course for learning Linux system programming and understanding how Linux works for user space. You can also create a Linux image for different architectures in this course.

    A good hands-on course that provides all the Knowledge, and a Little self-study with the resources mentioned in the course can make you a MASTER.

    Extremely satisfied with course. The challenges provided made me lose track of time and work on them until I accomplish it.

    It is quite challenging but fair. In the end it is "advanced"

    It takes time and effort to solve assignments issues more than learning and working on the topic.

    This course was recorded a few years ago and has improved since. Some directories' names and assignment sequences have changed. Because of that, I had to change some sequences to complete the assignment. I suggest you ask somebody to read and do all the assignments to check if they are right. I think this course would be improved with this check.

    too many peer assessments sometimes materials are unclear, not always clear requirements for assignments and peer assessment sometimes it is pure luck

    I like: - General content and how this is explained in the videos. I dislike: - Be ready to expend more than 50% of the course time fixing problems on your working machine. - Exercises instructions are confusing. - 0 support in the forums by Instructors.

    Assignments are boring, uninspired and include more github ci setup than actual programming. Lecturer just reads off slides and does so poorly frequently misspeaking and sometimes forgetting to edit out restarts. There is no feedback on submissions at all.
