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.

Summary


In this final chapter, 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.

Throughout the book, we learned the necessary background information for you to learn any other aspect of the Yocto Project that you may need on your own. You have a general understanding of what is happening behind the scenes when you ask BitBake to build a recipe or an image. From now on, you are ready to free your mind and try new things. There are plenty of boards available, waiting for you to give them life. The ball is in your court now; here's where the fun begins!
