Obtaining Yocto Project


We will use the daisy branch of Poky, which is a name for 1.6.1 version of Yocto Project. We will stick to this version throughout this book. These are the steps to follow while obtaining Yocto Project:

  1. First, create a folder called yocto. Then, create a directory for it:

    $  mkdir yocto
    
  2. Change the directory to this newly created directory:

    $  cd yocto
    
  3. Fetch sources for Poky:

    $  git clone -b daisy git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
    
  4. Change the directory to poky:

    $  cd poky
    

What is the next logical step? Have a look at the directory contents using the ls command to see what we got. Welcome! We are in good place. Let's enjoy our journey.
