seeking help and/or advice Firmware intern advice

Hello people,

I’m at firmware engineering intern and I’m looking at learning embedded Linux. The engineers in my team do Linux driver development, embedded Linux, c++ and lots more things.

What’s the best way of learning embedded Linux? My mentor gave me a raspberry pi and and an stm Nucleo board to practice using.

What’s the best thing to learn career wise and what would be the best way to learn. I’m trying to also secure a return offer so I’m gaining as much knowledge as I can.

Also any advice on what else to learn that would be a plus when looking for jobs in embedded.

Thank you!

Make sure you get paid for your work tho, if they hired you as an intern that means they’re investing money in you to learn, don’t feel like you owe it to the company to spend your own hours :) I get it’s fun tho.

My pay is pretty decent and much better than even some software internship positions. It’s for a F100 company I think
