Description

This four-day training combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on exercises to introduce the Yocto Project. It addresses common questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to use a different version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for each GNU/Linux project, and follow a distinct workflow?
• Can you ensure that the development environment remains identical for all developers and suppliers, and still produce consistent builds even 10+ years from now?
• Can the Yocto Project help determine the software licenses under which the packages you use are distributed?

The hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware, such as the Beagle Bone Black Rev. C (http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). After completing the training, you will be able to download a Docker image with Ubuntu 14.x and all dependencies pre-installed, along with the examples, to work with the course material in your own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux; it is assumed that you already have knowledge of how Embedded GNU/Linux works and how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This training is designed for those who are already using GNU/Linux in their projects and may have heard about the Yocto Project but haven't delved into it further, or have encountered difficulties using it. You might be uncertain if and how your daily workflow can be integrated with the Yocto Project, finding it complex. Why introduce this complexity when things were supposedly simpler before? By the end of the training, you should be able to decide whether the Yocto Project is necessary for your needs. The workshop is tailored for software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and others with a solid understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux who are interested in the Yocto Project.
