A hands-on training week for engineers who build and operate real-time Linux systems — four intensive days with senior Linutronix kernel engineers, working on real embedded hardware, covering the complete stack from application design to kernel-level tracing.

Two new Dates:
19 – 22 October 2026 or 25 – 28 January 2026 · Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, Germany · Max. 8 participants

>> Agenda and Details 

What you’ll learn

Day 1 — Real-Time Linux Fundamentals

• How Preempt-RT modifies the kernel and what that means in practice
• Linux scheduling policies affecting real-time development
• How Linux memory-management policies and their real-time influence
• How to measure, observe and interpret latency behavior on a live system

Day 2 — Real-time Application Development

• How to design the real-time application event flow
• Clocking, synchronization and notification mechanisms
• The most common application pitfalls
• How to use the rtapp runtime verification monitor
• Writing a complete real-time application from scratch for an embedded board

Day 3 — System Configuration & Testing

• Which kernel configuration is “right” for real-time
• Required runtime system configurations
• How to stress-test a system and measure latency under realistic load

Day 4 — Debugging & Tracing

• How to find latency culprits using perf and tracefs
• How to use eBPF for real-time tracing
• How to work effectively with graphical tracing tools
• Running all tools live on the embedded board

After this training you will be able to

• Understand Preempt-RT internals and the system-wide impact
• Implement real-time Linux applications
• Configure a real-time Linux kernel
• Measure and validate latency under real load conditions
• Debug latency issues
• Use eBPF and tracefs for tracing
• Apply all of this directly to your industrial or embedded project

What’s included — €3,250 per person

• Full 4-day instructor-led training
• Hands-on exercises
• Preconfigured embedded Linux board
• USB media with tools & examples
• Digital training documentation
• Snacks & drinks on all training days
• Direct access to real-time experts

Hotel not included. We can assist with hotel bookings upon request.
