Description

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

• Is it truly necessary to utilize a distinct version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for every GNU/Linux project, and must one adhere to a different workflow as a result?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains consistent across all developers and suppliers, ensuring that identical builds can be reproduced today and in over ten years’ time?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses associated with the packages you utilize?

Hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Upon completion of the training, you will receive a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with the necessary examples, allowing you to engage with the course material in your own lab environment. Please note that this is not an introductory course on Embedded GNU/Linux. You should already possess a solid understanding of how Embedded GNU/Linux functions and be capable of configuring and building the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for individuals who already use GNU/Linux in their projects and have likely heard about the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it further or have encountered difficulties when using it. You may be unsure if and how your daily workflow can integrate with the YP and generally find the YP complex. You might ask, "Why do we need all this when everything was previously (supposedly) much simpler?" After completing the training, you will be better equipped to decide whether the YP is suitable for your needs. The workshop is aimed at software developers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals with a strong background in Embedded GNU/Linux.
