i.MX51 Implementation + LTIB by ac6-training

Product Description

Course objectives
The course details the hardware implementation of the MCIMX51 microcontroller
The course focuses on the boot sequence, the clocking and the power management strategies
The course explains all parameters that affect the performance of the system in order to easily perform the final tuning
The multiple complex units involved in multimedia stream management are covered in depth
An overview of the Cortex-A8 core helps to understand issues caused by cache and MMU
The course ends with practical labs explaining how to generate a Linux image as well as a Root File System, by using a tool called LTIB [Linux Target Image Builder]
Program examples have been developed by ACSYS to explain the boot sequence and the operation of complex peripherals.

•They are compiled by the GNU compiler and are executed under Lauterbach debugger.

•A host desktop running Linux is used to generate Linux image and Root File System during labs on LTIB.
