Chapter 14. Booting Our Custom Embedded Linux

It's time! We are now ready to boot our custom-made embedded Linux as we have learned the required concepts and gained enough knowledge about the Yocto Project and Poky. In this chapter, we practice what we have learned so far about using Poky with an external BSP, the Freescale ARM BSP, use it to generate an image for use with the Wandboard machine, and boot it using the SD card.

The same concepts can be applied to every other board, as long as a vendor provides a BSP layer to use with the Yocto Project.

We can see a list of the most commonly used BSP layers in this chapter. This should not be taken as a complete list, or as a definitive one, but we want to facilitate your search for the needed layer in case you have one board of a specific vendor next to you. This list is as follows, in alphabetic order:

  • Allwinner: This has the meta-allwinner layer

  • BeagleBoard: This has the meta-beagleboard layer

  • CuBox-i: This has the meta-fsl-arm-extra layer...
