Yocto Project tutorials
The Yocto Project® (YP) is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based operating system regardless of the hardware architecture.
The project provides a flexible set of tools and a space where embedded developers worldwide can share technologies, software stacks, configurations, and best practices that can be used to create tailored Linux images for embedded and IOT devices, or anywhere a customized Linux OS is needed.
The intention of the Yocto Project category on Mender Hub is to share tutorials covering common practices that might not be covered in the Yocto Project documentation. The tutorials in this category should be a complement to the Yocto Project documentation site and not aim to replace it.
The Yocto Project is a highly versatile tool set and there are many ways of doing things to accomplish the same end results, this is an opportunity to share your way of using the Yocto Project
Tutorials in this category mainly focus on the following areas:
- high-level coverage of Yocto Project features
- in-depth coverage is provided by the Yocto Project Mega-Manual
- Build servers, CI/CD tools and practices
- Optimizations tweaks that makes the Yocto experience more pleasant
The sum of the tutorials in this category should make the journey from zero to production easier.
