SCaLE 16x

March 7-10, 2019

Pasadena Convention Centre, California, USA

Southern California Linux Expo

SCaLE is one of the longest running community Linux conferences in the world, this being it’s 17th year running in the Los Angeles Region. SCaLE has had an Embedded track for a long time, and this year will be featuring not only the regular Embedded presentation track, but also hosting E-ALE! We are very pleased to have SCaLE as the inaugural E-ALE location. You can find the complete SCaLE17x schedule here.

What Hardware is used in these classes?

PocketBeagle

For 2018 we will be using the PocketBeagle.

All the Embedded Apprentice Linux Engineer classes will involve using embedded hardware during the hands-on labs. We will be using the PocketBeagle and a BaconBits cape which are included with the $75 USD registration fee for E-ALE at SCaLE16x and ELC. We will only support doing the labs on the official HW kit; please don't bring your own and try to use that. The HW kits will be delivered to the attendee at the first seminar they choose to attend.

• Reset button

•  I2C accelerometer

•  GPIO Push button
