Hey Yocto, Build Me a Custom Embedded Linux! Er, No – Kaiwan Billimoria, kaiwanTECH
The Linux ecosystem powers many, if not most, devices these days. Having a well designed sustainable way to build and maintain one – and not having to rely on a hodge-podge collection of hacky scripts – is critical. This talk introduces the Yocto Project – _the_ industry standard way to build and maintain your custom Linux.
With Yocto, one can build a custom (embedded or otherwise) Linux in an efficient and completely reproducible manner, along with several related advantages; it’s a 100% open source, has the ability to build-in security features, all/most major BSP layers are already available, and more.
This session will show you exactly how to get started on building such a custom system with Yocto; it will of course include leveraging Yocto/OE’s famed layer+recipes model.
