Yocto Project Training in Naples

In this instructor-led, live training session located in Naples, participants will learn how to create a build system for embedded Linux based on the Yocto Project.

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

• Comprehend the fundamental concepts underlying the Yocto Project build system, including recipes, metadata, and layers.
• Build a Linux image and run it under emulation.
• Save time and energy building embedded Linux systems.

Description

This four-day training program blends theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to introduce participants to the Yocto Project.
It addresses common inquiries such as:

• Is it truly necessary to maintain a distinct toolchain, library, and package version for every GNU/Linux project, alongside a separate workflow?
• Can you guarantee that the development environment remains consistent across all developers and suppliers, enabling you to reproduce identical builds today and in the future (10+ years)?
• Can the YP assist in identifying the software licenses applicable to the packages you utilize?

Practical sessions are conducted on target hardware (e.g., Beagle Bone Black Rev. C - http://beagleboard.org/BLACK). Upon completion of the training, you will receive a Docker image containing Ubuntu 14.x with all dependencies pre-installed, along with course examples, allowing you to practice with the materials in your own lab environment. Please note that this is not an introductory course for Embedded GNU/Linux. Prior knowledge of how Embedded GNU/Linux functions, including kernel and driver configuration and build processes, is required.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for individuals who already use GNU/Linux in their projects and have heard of the Yocto Project but have hesitated to explore it further or have encountered difficulties using it. If you are unsure how your daily workflow fits into the YP and find the YP generally complex or question its necessity compared to simpler existing methods, this training will help you determine if the YP is the right solution. The workshop is aimed at software engineers, development engineers, system engineers, testers, administrators, and other interested parties who possess solid knowledge of Embedded GNU/Linux.
