Embedded Linux Development Using Yocto Project - Third Edition

By: Otavio Salvador, Daiane Angolini

Overview of this book

The Yocto Project is the industry standard for developing dependable embedded Linux projects. It stands out from other frameworks by offering time-efficient development with enhanced reliability and robustness. With Embedded Linux Development Using Yocto Project, you’ll acquire an understanding of Yocto Project tools, helping you perform different Linux-based tasks. You’ll gain a deep understanding of Poky and BitBake, explore practical use cases for building a Linux subsystem project, employ Yocto Project tools available for embedded Linux, and uncover the secrets of SDK, recipe tool, and others. This new edition is aligned with the latest long-term support release of the aforementioned technologies and introduces two new chapters, covering optimal emulation in QEMU for faster product development and best practices. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to generate and run an image for real hardware boards. You’ll gain hands-on experience in building efficient Linux systems using the Yocto Project.

Summary

We learned how to discover the BSP for a board we want to use in our project. We consolidated our Yocto Project knowledge by adding external BSP layers and using these in real boards with a generated image. We also consolidated the necessary background information to learn about any other aspect of the Yocto Project you may need.

In the next chapter, we will explore how using QEMU speeds up product development by enabling us to not rely on hardware for every development cycle.
