Course schedule
1 Getting started with the Raspberry Pi
- Introduction: presentation of the Raspberry Pi, the BCM2835/2836/2837 systems-on-chip and the Arm 1176 processor.
- Linux distribution for Raspberry Pi: download, install, test.
- Discover distribution: essential parameters, standard tools.
- Basic operation: system configuration, users, graphical user interface.
- Using Linux on the Raspberry Pi: advantages and disadvantages of an SD card-based system.
Hands-on work
Installing and testing a standard distribution on Raspberry Pi.
2 Configuration and customization
- Network: network configuration (Ethernet+WiFi), Internet, remote connection.
- Network services: starting up services, choosing the right ones for an embedded system.
- Update: package installation, update.
- Servers: configuring a Web server on the Raspberry Pi.
- Remote control: remote display and remote control.
Hands-on work
Optimal configuration of system, network and services.
3 I/O and communication interfaces
- RS-232 interface: communication between Raspberry Pi and PC. Boot traces.
- GPIO I/O: use from the Shell, in a Python or C program.
- Interrupts and GPIOs: detection of GPIO state changes.
- SPI: SPI dialog with a microcontroller.
- I²C: I²2 interrogation of a temperature sensor.
- Bluetooth: identification, connection, communication.
Hands-on work
Communication via various I/O interfaces.
4 Application programming on Raspberry Pi
- Programming in C/C++: native or cross-compilation, debugging, examples.
- Python programming: Python interpreter and modules. Graphical applications.
- Shell scripts: sample scripts for system initialization or application launch.
Hands-on work
Programming examples in different languages.
5 Advanced customization
- Kernel recompilation: benefits of recompilation, adjusted configuration.
- Additional drivers: compilation and installation of external drivers.
- Configuration "from scratch": Build a fully customized system with Buildroot.
Hands-on work
Additional drivers (GPIO extension).
