Internet of Things V2: DragonBoard™ bring up and community ecosystem

Description

Do you want to develop skills to prototype embedded products using state-of-the-art technologies? In this course you will build a hardware and software development environment to guide your journey through the Internet of Things specialization courses. We will use the DragonBoard™ 410c single board computer (SBC).

This is the first in a series of courses where you will learn both the theory and get the hands-on development practice needed to prototype Internet of Things products. This course is suitable for a broad range of learners.

This course is for you if:
– You want to learn how to use learn how to use Linux for embedded purposes.
– You want to pivot your career towards the design and development of Internet of Things enabled products
– You are an entrepreneur, innovator or member of a DIY community
