The operating system (OS) is the basic software on top of the computer hardware system, which can provide necessary support for the operation of other application software. In addition, the OS is also a fundamental tool for application development, and an integrated development environment (IDE) is installed on top of it. Consequently, Linux OS is introduced into the computer science related majors and as an advanced course. In this paper, the Linux programming curriculum reform is discussed in the era of open-source hardware and software. Different from the traditional Linux courses on server related operations, we focus more on desktop level program development or embedded system software development based on Linux operating system. Moreover, communication between two hardware systems installed with Linux operating systems is also considered. The effectiveness of the proposed reform methods has been verified through practical teaching work.
