OverviewWho it's for
The Embedded Linux Fast-Track is the quickest route for engineers who need to build and ship embedded Linux on edge and AI platforms — board bring-up, custom images, and deployment with Yocto — without first spending months on kernel internals or device-driver development.
It bundles two programs into one guided sequence: you start with Linux Systems Programming to lock in the system-level fundamentals, then move straight into Embedded Linux on EdgeAI platforms to build, customise, and deploy real images on real boards. One mentor takes you end to end.
If your goal is to get a working device out the door quickly, this is your track. If you also want to author and debug kernel code and device drivers for kernel/driver-developer roles, see the Embedded Linux Mastery Track.
Your journeyTwo programs, one sequence
Both programs in this track are shared with the Mastery Track and marked in green. You progress in order, with one mentor across the whole journey.
Linux Systems Programming
SharedSystem-level Linux skills — processes, memory, files, IPC and the toolchain — the foundation everything else builds on.

SharedBuild, customise and deploy embedded Linux images with Yocto on edge/AI boards — board bring-up to a shippable device.
View program →OutcomesWhat you'll be able to do
- ✓ Apply system-level Linux programming — processes, memory, IPC and the toolchain — with confidence.
- ✓ Build and customise embedded Linux images end to end using the Yocto Project.
- ✓ Perform board bring-up and configure Linux for edge and AI hardware platforms.
- ✓ Deploy, update and ship a real embedded Linux device.
- ✓ Integrate edge-AI workloads onto a working embedded Linux platform.
- ✓ Move into embedded Linux build & integration roles — the fastest route to a shippable product.
What's includedEverything in the combo
- ✓ Linux Systems Programming — full program (shared foundation).
- ✓ Embedded Linux on EdgeAI platforms — full program (build & ship).
- ✓ One mentor end to end — Raghu Bharadwaj across both programs.
- ✓ Certificate on completion of the track.
- ✓ Combo saving versus enrolling in the two programs individually.
- ✓ Option to upgrade to the Mastery Track anytime — pay only the difference.
