4.2. Achievement and Standing

  • open source collaboration project

  • founded in 2010 as a collaboration among many hardware manufacturers, open-source operating systems vendors and electronics companies

  • help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products

  • regardless of the hardware architecture

  • provides templates, tools and methods (Best-Practice)

What the Yocto Project Provides

  • The industry needed a common build system and core technology

    • BitBake and OpenEmbedded Core = OE build system

  • The benefit of doing so is:

    • Designed for the long term

    • Designed for embedded

    • Transparent Upstream changes

    • Vibrant Developer Community
