Yocto Project Training in Oslo

In this instructor-led, live training in Oslo, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on Yocto Project.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts behind a Yocto Project build system, including recipes, metadata, and layers.
• Build a Linux image and run it under emulation.
• Save time and energy building embedded Linux systems.

Description

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

• Is it truly necessary to employ a distinct version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for every GNU/Linux project, along with a different workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains consistent for all developers and suppliers, enabling identical builds in the present and over ten years into the future?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses associated with the packages you utilize?

Hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., BeagleBone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Following the training, participants will receive a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with examples to facilitate working with the course material in their own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course on Embedded GNU/Linux. Attendees should already understand how Embedded GNU/Linux operates, including the configuration and building of the GNU/Linux kernel and kernel drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for individuals who already use GNU/Linux for their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it in depth or faced challenges in using it. If you are unsure about how your daily workflow might fit into the YP and generally find the YP complex, questioning the necessity of its complexity when previous methods were simpler, this training will help you decide whether the YP is suitable for your needs. The workshop targets software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other interested parties with a solid foundation in Embedded GNU/Linux.
