Best Practices

This chapter aims to provide insight into our (the authors’) personal experience in working with embedded devices and embedded Linux development over the years. We have gathered some aspects that are often underestimated or wholly neglected to serve as inspiration for you in your next project.

We have split this chapter into two independent parts, one about the guidelines related to the Yocto Project specifics and the other about more general aspects of a project. This is so that you don’t have to study the two sections in a particular order.
