Description

This four-day training blends theoretical instruction with practical exercises to introduce participants to the Yocto Project. It addresses common questions, such as:

• Is it truly necessary to employ a different toolchain, libraries, or package set for every GNU/Linux project, along with a distinct workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains consistent across all developers and suppliers, ensuring identical builds can be reproduced today and for the next 10+ years?
• Can the Yocto Project assist in identifying the software licenses under which the packages you utilize are licensed?

Practical sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Upon completion of the training, you will receive a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with course examples, allowing you to practice in your own lab environment. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux. Participants should already understand how Embedded GNU/Linux operates and possess the skills to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for those who already use GNU/Linux for their projects and have heard of the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it further or found it challenging to use. It addresses concerns about whether and how your daily workflow can integrate with the YP, as well as the general perception that the YP is overly complicated. Why adopt this complexity when previous methods seemed simpler? After the training, you will be equipped to determine whether the YP is necessary for your needs. The workshop is designed for software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other interested parties with a solid understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux.
