Re: Course / teaching

I teach at UCI Extension and completing an embedded Linux course there. Our students purchased an ARM9 based system from http://www.embeddedarm.com. It costs around $149 and it comes in 2 flavors. The biggest "problem" with the board is that it doesn't have JTAG. One interesting plus is that the bootloader is RedBoot, so you also have eCOS if you want to experiment with that OS as well. 

I would be interested in comparing notes.

thanks

The University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Extension program
for Embedded Computer Engineering (ECE) held a meeting on Thursday.
I proposed adding "Embedded Debian Devices" to the course lineup
and this was felt to be a good complement to the existing offerings.

If you are interested in being involved in any way, please contact me.
I currently teach "Embedded Linux" and will try to answer questions.
I would really like to see this course offered by people who know
the technologies and have an incentive to grow the user communities.
UCSD-E programs accept instructor teams that share the workload
and the course could be offered as online or onsite (or both).

Students generally learn better with a hardware based project;

Alternate suggestions (under $200) are hereby solicited.

PS.
The discussion of the course offerings at the meeting yesterday actually 
proposed to add "+" a few courses to the "-" existing lineup to achieve
a more integrated and structured offering:

- Linux System Administration   [this is Red Hat specific]
+ Debian System Administration
+ Embedded Debian Devices
- Embedded Linux
- Real Time Embedded Linux Devices
+ Arm Microprocessor Programming
+ Comedi
