Android for System Engineers
Android for System Engineers is a full covering course that in depth covers everything from the build system and Android's fundamental components to the Linux kernel and how new drivers can be added.
The course discusses the components and libraries that form the Android platform. The IPC model and the way the platform exposes native code through JNI are covered. We discuss the GNU tool chain used for building the Android platform and its different tools.
The participants will learn about the boot sequence and how you configure and build the Linux kernel for Android. An introduction to Linux drivers in general and how new hardware functionality can be added is included in the material. The course also covers how porting of existing drivers and the development of new ones can be made for Android.
