NDC Conferences delivers high-end events for software developers, ranging from large 5-day conferences to smaller events and tailor made workshops.

This two day hands-on workshop will give you a chance to explore numerous types of hardware interfacing, including:

We will be looking at these from the point of view of embedded systems, including Linux based IoT devices. For the hands-on portion of the workshop we will be using Raspberry Pi boards to implement a smart door bell.

In the lectures, you will learn the theory necessary to implement such a device. Starting from power on, we will consider how Linux discovers what hardware is attached, and especially the role of the device tree in non PC systems. We will look how Linux represents hardware internally through the device driver model and the sysfs file system, and how it loads device drivers for each component of hardware. Then we will see how to interact with device drivers from user-space programs to make a working system.

We will be using the industry standard Yocto Project to build the disk images for the target. If you are not familiar with Yocto, don’t worry: we will be covering the fundamentals of Yocto as well.

The workshop is suitable for anyone working with Embedded Linux, or IoT devices, or is just curious about how things work

To get the best out of it you will need good command-line Linux skills (grep, find, bash), good C/C++ coding skills, and a basic knowledge of computer architecture (memory address spaces, interrupts, DMA)

Computing is all about hardware: a program that does not touch hardware is … not a program. This is especially true in the embedded domain. 


Cisco
Cisco helps seize the opportunities of tomorrow by proving that amazing things can happen when you connect the unconnected. And, as a part of the Cisco portfolio, Webex Rooms connects people to productivity rather than getting in the way of it by promoting the ability for them to work where they want, when they want, and how they want to get stuff done. The world works better face to face, and whether there is a need to work remote or in-person, Webex Rooms delivers the collaboration tools for that authentic interaction. We are proud to have one of the largest R&D sites in Norway with over 400 employees, developing and designing collaboration tools!

Everybody knows how to write apps for Android, but few know how to create the Android platform itself. This workshop will show you how. Using source code from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) you will will build a custom Android image based on Android 11 and a 5.4 kernel. The target hardware is Goldfish, known to most people as the Android emulator

You will get a chance to go through a complete – but intensive – product cycle, starting from a bare device configuration. You will make it buildable by adding it to the lunch menu, then customize the image by selecting the packages to add, and finishing up with a few customizations such as adding a boot animation

The second part of the workshop is to use this base platform to create a (simple) smart doorcam. For this you will be writing a platform app – the kind that is bundled with the system images – and using lock task mode to create a single use “kiosk mode” device

This workshop is very much hands-on. As a takeaway you will have the slides, workbook notes and the end result. Plus, worked examples to help you along

In this session, I want to broaden our horizon on having this holistic perspective on our responsibility for sustainability that comes with software development. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already an effort in implementing this holistic perspective because sustainability becomes more and more a success factor for every company: For finding and keeping both clients as well as talent. Thus, this session is about raising awareness of our contribution to sustainability and understanding the (first) steps we can take to make a difference.


The world is on fire! None of our improvements in software development will matter at all if we can’t change the course of the climate crisis. The software lifecycle creates direct and indirect carbon emissions: it has a footprint, worsening environmental problems. However, the environmental aspect is not the only one we need to focus on. If we take our task seriously, we have to take a holistic view of software development in the sense of the so-called triple bottom line from all three sustainability perspectives: social, economic, and ecological.
