If you are a system software developer in the system semiconductor, automotive, etc. fields,

Linux Kernel You Must Know

What is the most used operating system in all IT devices? It is the Linux operating system. It is used in smart phones, digital TVs, aviation entertainment systems, and servers. System semiconductor companies use Linux (Linux device drivers) to control the hardware they design. Linux is also widely used in various components (infotainment, autonomous driving, telematics) that make up electric vehicles (Automotive).

The core of the Linux operating system is the Linux kernel. Along with the Armv8-A architecture, the Linux kernel can be considered the most essential foundational knowledge required in the current system software industry.

Attention System Software Developers and Embedded System (BSP) Programmers!

However, the Linux kernel is a huge barrier for beginners in the field of system software. Beginners may have given up on learning the Linux kernel several times. The difficult Linux kernel version is evolving more and more complex as it is upgraded. After 2024, the Linux kernel version will be upgraded to v6.6 or higher , and the barrier to entry is getting higher.

Linux system software developers who are deployed in various fields including system semiconductors and electric vehicles know that they need to know the Linux kernel well to improve their development capabilities. However, it is difficult to get a sense of how to learn the Linux kernel and, above all, what content they need to know well in practice.

The author of 'Learning the Structure and Principles of the Linux Kernel through Debugging' explains the Linux outlook and the main functions of the Linux kernel in an easy-to-understand way!

The author of 'Learning the Structure and Principles of the Linux Kernel through Debugging' (2021, Korean Academy of Sciences Outstanding Book Award) introduces the prospects and components of the latest Linux kernel. By listening to this lecture, you can understand the direction of learning the Linux kernel and which of the vast functions of the Linux kernel you should learn well.

Based on my experience writing books and giving lectures
More in-depth and detailed than anyone else!

The author of the book 'Linux Kernel' and 'Arm Architecture (Armv8-A, Armv7-A)', which is unprecedented in the domestic system software field! He is also a working developer who knows the latest system software trends (electric vehicles, system semiconductors - system software) the best, and an educator who is most active in spreading knowledge in the system software field.

• Author of 'Learning the Structure and Principles of the Linux Kernel through Debugging' ( 2021, Korean Academy of Sciences Outstanding Book Award )

• Author of 'Structure and Principles of Arm Architecture for System Software Development' ( 2024, Korean Academy of Sciences Outstanding Book Award )

• 'Programmers Dev Course: Linux System and Kernel Expert' Main Instructor

• June 2022, Korea Computer Conference (KCC2022) - Tutorial presentation [Conquering the Linux Kernel using ftrace]

• LG Electronics 'Linux Kernel' and 'Armv8 Architecture' In-house Instructor ( including domestic and overseas developers ) - (2020~2024)

I can confidently say that I am the educator who can explain the major functions that make up the Linux kernel better than anyone else in the country.

Learn about these things

It explains the overall structure of the Linux operating system and details why you should learn the Linux kernel well.

Describes the ecosystem related to the development of the latest Linux system software. It covers in detail why you need to know the Linux kernel in the process of developing electric vehicles and system semiconductors.

Introduces the content of each chapter and summarizes the key points.

It provides supplementary explanations of contents not explained in the book. It also analyzes the execution flow based on the latest Arm architecture, 64-bit based Armv8.

We will explain the main concepts that make up the Linux kernel by analyzing the latest version (v6.1) Linux kernel source code.

We introduce the main functions of the kernel in detail by analyzing ftrace messages extracted from the latest Linux kernel version (v6.1).

Explains the main data structures and flow of the kernel while debugging the latest debugging method, "kernel memory dump". Uses TRACE32 simulator and Crash Utility that can be used immediately in real-world projects.
