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.

Chapter 9. Debugging with the Yocto Project

The debug process is an important step in every development cycle. In this chapter, we will understand how to configure Poky to help us with the debugging process, for example, how we can configure our system to provide the tools needed for a remote debug using GDB, how we can track our changes usingbuildhistory, and how we can use a handy tool called devshell.
