• Comprehend the foundational concepts of a Yocto Project build system, such as recipes, metadata, and layers.
• Build a Linux image and run it under emulation.
• Reduce the time and energy required for building embedded Linux systems.

Description

This four-day training merges theoretical instruction with practical exercises to introduce participants to the Yocto Project.
It addresses frequently asked questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to employ a different version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for every GNU/Linux project, along with a distinct workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains identical for all developers and suppliers, allowing you to produce identical builds today and well into the future?
• Can the YP assist in determining 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 be able to download a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, alongside the course examples, enabling you to work with the material in your own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course for Embedded GNU/Linux. You should already possess a foundational understanding of how Embedded GNU/Linux operates, including how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for individuals who already use GNU/Linux in their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it further or have found it difficult to utilize. If you are unsure how your daily workflow can be integrated into the YP or generally find the YP complex and question why it is necessary when previous methods were simpler, this training will help you decide whether the YP is right for you. The workshop is aimed at software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other stakeholders interested in the YP, requiring a solid knowledge of Embedded GNU/Linux.
