This course is the definitive program for engineers who want to master the complete Embedded Linux software stack on Altera SoC FPGA platforms. Students progress systematically from the fundamentals of the Hard Processor System (HPS) architecture, through every stage of the boot chain (BootROM, FSBL/SPL, ARM Trusted Firmware, U-Boot), across the Linux kernel and device tree layer, through Yocto-based root filesystem construction, into FPGA fabric integration and custom Linux driver development, and finally to advanced topics including boot-time optimization, runtime performance profiling, secure boot, long-term BSP maintainability, and CI/CD integration.
