Online Yocto Project Training in US

In this instructor-led, live training in US, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on the Yocto Project, tailored specifically for government applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts behind a Yocto Project build system, including recipes, metadata, and layers, as they apply to public sector workflows.
• Build a Linux image and run it under emulation, ensuring alignment with government standards and requirements.
• Save time and energy in developing embedded Linux systems for government use.

Description

This four-day training combines theory with hands-on exercises to introduce the Yocto Project. It addresses frequently asked questions such as:

• Is it really necessary to use different versions of the toolchain, libraries, and packages for each GNU/Linux project, and follow a distinct workflow?
• Can you ensure that the development environment is identical for all developers and suppliers, and still produce consistent builds even 10+ years from now?
• Can the Yocto Project help identify the software licenses under which the packages you use are licensed?

Hands-on sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - ). After the training, participants will be able to download a Docker image with Ubuntu 14.x and all dependencies pre-installed, along with examples, to work with the course material in their own labs. Please note that this is not an introductory course to Embedded GNU/Linux. Participants should already have knowledge of how Embedded GNU/Linux works 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 may have heard about the Yocto Project but have not had the opportunity to explore it further or encountered difficulties in its use. If you are unsure whether your daily workflow can be accommodated within the Yocto Project and find it complex, this course will help you determine if the Yocto Project is necessary for government projects. The workshop is aimed at software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other professionals with a solid understanding of Embedded GNU/Linux.
