Description

This four-day training blends theoretical instruction with practical exercises to introduce participants to the Yocto Project.
It addresses common questions such as:

• Is it truly necessary to utilize a separate toolchain, library, and package set for every GNU/Linux project, alongside a distinct workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains consistent across all developers and suppliers, allowing for the production of identical builds today and in over a decade?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses governing the packages you utilize?

Practical sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., BeagleBone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Upon completing the training, you will receive a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies and examples pre-installed, enabling you to work with the course materials in your own lab environment. Please note that this is not an introductory course for Embedded GNU/Linux. Participants should already possess a foundational understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux, including how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for individuals who already use GNU/Linux for their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but hesitated to explore it further or encountered difficulties when using it. If you are unsure whether and how the YP can fit into your daily workflow, or if you find the YP overly complex and question the need for it when previous methods seemed simpler, this training will help you decide whether the YP is necessary for your needs. The workshop is intended for software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other interested parties who have a solid knowledge of Embedded GNU/Linux.
