Description

This four-day training course blends theoretical instruction with hands-on exercises to provide an introduction to the Yocto Project. It addresses common questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to use a different version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for each GNU/Linux project, and to follow a distinct workflow?
• Can you ensure that the development environment is consistent across all developers and suppliers, and still produce identical builds even 10 years from now?
• Can the Yocto Project help identify the software licenses under which the packages you use are distributed?

The hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware, such as the Beagle Bone Black Rev. C (http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Following the training, you will have access to a Docker image with Ubuntu 14.x and all dependencies pre-installed, along with the examples from the course, enabling you to continue working with the material in your own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux; you should already be familiar with how Embedded GNU/Linux operates and know how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and kernel drivers.

Who should attend?

This workshop is designed for those who are already using GNU/Linux in their projects and have heard about the Yocto Project but have been hesitant to explore it further, or have encountered difficulties in its use. You may be unsure if and how your daily workflow can be integrated into the YP and generally find the YP complex. Why do we need all this when everything seemed easier before? After completing the training, you should be able to determine whether the Yocto Project is necessary for your projects. The course is suitable for software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals with a solid understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux.
