Getting started with Yocto Project - Chris Simmons - NDC TechTown 2022

Embedded computing is very diverse. The majority of devices use ARM architecture processors, but RISC-V is gaining in popularity, and there is of course x86. Each device has its own requirements and constraints. To cope with this diversity, we need tools to build the operating system and fundamental applications. Yocto Project is the tool most often used.

In this talk I will show you how to get started with Yocto, first using QEMU to create an emulated target board, and then using a Raspberry Pi. I will describe the basics of Yocto: Distro, Machine, Image. I will talk about Bitbake and bitbake recipes and I will show how recipes can be gathered together into layers. If you want to get a head start with Yocto Project and embedded Linux, this is the talk for you
