Book Description

Yocto Project is quickly becoming the best integration framework for creating reliable embedded Linux projects. It has the edge over other frameworks because of its features such as less development time and improved reliability and robustness.

Embedded Linux Development using Yocto Project will show you how to make the most of this open-course project, starting with an in-depth explanation of all Yocto Project tools to help you perform different Linux-based tasks. You'll get started with in-depth explanations of Poky and BitBake and then work your way to working on practical use cases for building a Linux subsystem project using Yocto Project tools available for embedded Linux. Alongside, you'll also dive into topics such as SDK, recipetool, and others.

This new edition is updated to the latest version of all technologies mentioned and features two new chapters; one on speeding product development through emulation in QEMU, and one on best practices.

By the end of the book, you will have learned how to generate and run an image for real hardware boards and will have gained hands-on experience at building efficient Linux systems using Yocto Project.
