Welcome to the Yocto Project Wiki!
The
Yocto Project
is an open-source project that delivers a set of tools that create operating system images for embedded Linux systems. The Yocto Project tools are based on the
OpenEmbedded
(OE) project, which uses the BitBake build tool, to construct complete Linux images. BitBake and OE are combined to form a reference build host known as Poky which includes the following
core components
. This
video
will help explain what it's all about.
Where to Start?
If you're new to Yocto take a look at the
Glossary
so you're familiar with the terms used in this wiki and the project documentation. Then take a look at the
Quick Start Guide
. You can follow the steps in this document to clone the poky repository, quickly configure your build environment, and then try a build. Corporate firewalls can be problematic so network proxy configurations are detailed on the
Working Behind a Network Proxy
page. We advise you go straight for the
Chameleonsocks option
Where to Next?
Thanks to the quick start guide, it's pretty easy to get your first Linux image build and running. Here are some places to look for help when improving your Yocto skills.
The
Linux Foundation
have some great
training slides
. There is also an
advanced slide deck
for more experienced users.
The first tool you'll need to get familiar with is
bitbake
, so reading through the [
manual
is recommended. You don't need to understand it all right now, but bookmark this page for reference. Implementation of bitake is covered in the
Bitbake Internals Primer
Once you start adding packages and configuring your image to create your own distribution, things can go wrong and it can hard to track down the root cause. There is no shortage of Yocto documentation resource, but if you're not exactly sure what you're looking for this
Documentation Decoder
will help you out. Also take a look at the
Cookbook
and
troubleshooting guide
. Also
these books
are helpful.
Some new tools such as
Toaster
Extensible SDK
and
CROPS
are making it easier to get the best out of Yocto on Windows and Mac OS X. Take a look at the new workflow in
Developer Workflow Improvements
There is also a
Tips and Tricks
section where more experienced developers contribute to articles that will help those new to Yocto Project.
You can also read and participate on the
mailing lists
- start with the
main list
first - and the IRC channel. More information about the Yocto Project mailing lists, IRC and Matrix channels can be found
