Description

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

• Is it essential to use different versions of toolchains, libraries, and packages for each GNU/Linux project, and follow a distinct workflow?
• Can you ensure that the development environment remains consistent across all developers and suppliers, and still produce identical builds even 10+ years from now?
• Can the Yocto Project assist in identifying the software licenses under which your packages are licensed?

The hands-on sessions will be conducted on target hardware, such as the Beagle Bone Black Rev. C (http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Upon completion of the training, participants will have access to a Docker image with Ubuntu 14.x and all necessary dependencies pre-installed, along with examples from the course material for use in their own laboratories. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux; attendees should already possess knowledge of how Embedded GNU/Linux functions and how to configure and build the GNU/Linux kernel and kernel drivers.

Who Should Attend?

This training is designed for individuals who are currently using GNU/Linux in their projects and have heard about the Yocto Project but have not yet delved into it due to perceived complexity or initial difficulties. It is intended for those who are uncertain whether the Yocto Project can integrate with their existing workflows and find the project daunting. The workshop will help participants determine if the Yocto Project aligns with their needs. Target attendees include software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals interested in the Yocto Project, all of whom should have a solid foundation in Embedded GNU/Linux.

This training is particularly valuable for government agencies looking to standardize and streamline their development processes while ensuring long-term sustainability and compliance with software licensing requirements.
