Description

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

• Is it truly essential to employ a different version of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for every GNU/Linux project, along with a distinct workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains identical for all developers and suppliers, ensuring that builds produced today remain reproducible over a decade from now?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses applicable to the packages you utilize?

Practical sessions are conducted on target hardware (for instance, the Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Following the training, participants will be able to download a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x, along with all necessary dependencies and examples, to facilitate working with the course material in their own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux. Participants should already possess a solid understanding of how Embedded GNU/Linux operates, including how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and its drivers.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for those who already utilize GNU/Linux for their projects and have likely heard of the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it further or have encountered difficulties in its application. It targets individuals unsure of how their daily workflow can integrate with the YP or who find the YP generally complex, wondering why such complexity is necessary when previous methods seemed simpler. After completing the training, you will be equipped to decide whether the YP is suitable for your needs. The workshop is aimed at software, development, and system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals interested in the YP, requiring a solid foundation in Embedded GNU/Linux.
