By: Otavio Salvador, Daiane Angolini

Overview of this book

Yocto Project is turning out to be the best integration framework for creating reliable embedded Linux projects. It has the edge over other frameworks because of its features such as less development time and improved reliability and robustness. Embedded Linux Development using Yocto Project starts with an in-depth explanation of all Yocto Project tools, to help you perform different Linux-based tasks. The book then moves on to in-depth explanations of Poky and BitBake. It also includes some practical use cases for building a Linux subsystem project using Yocto Project tools available for embedded Linux. The book also covers topics such as SDK, recipetool, and others. By the end of the book, you will have learned how to generate and run an image for real hardware boards and will have gained hands-on experience at building efficient Linux systems using Yocto Project.

About the Reviewer

Radek Dostal is a fan of Linux and has been using it for the last 15 years. During his exchange studies in the US, he acquired a passion for embedded systems, and combining Linux with embedded systems has been his bread and butter ever since. Yocto has had a great impact on Radek's work: he managed to convince his team and managers to switch to Yocto for an important project, which built a solid foundation for several successful follow-up projects. Radek likes to contribute to open source projects as part of his work, as well as during his free time. However, if the weather is good during the weekend, you are most likely to find him in the mountains.
