In November 2024, I refreshed the Sysdev Lab and Training Materials for bootlin/training-materials to ensure accuracy and actionable guidance for students and engineers. Updates focused on reflecting current UI and device-tree references, clarifying VSCode debug console wording, updating U-Boot device-tree location/config_of_upstream, and strengthening lab procedures. These changes corrected inaccuracies, improved onboarding, and reduced support overhead by aligning materials with upstream hardware and tooling.
