Overview of this book

The Yocto Project is a Linux Foundation workgroup, which produces tools (SDK) and processes (configuration, compilation, installation) that will enable the creation of Linux distributions for embedded software, independent of the architecture of embedded software (Raspberry Pi, i.MX6, and so on). It is a powerful build system that allows you to master your personal or professional development. This book presents you with the configuration of the Yocto Framework for the Raspberry Pi, allowing you to create amazing and innovative projects using the Yocto/ OpenEmbedded eco-system. It starts with the basic introduction of Yocto's build system, and takes you through the setup and deployment steps for Yocto. It then helps you to develop an understanding of Bitbake (the task scheduler), and learn how to create a basic recipe through a GPIO application example. You can then explore the different types of Yocto recipe elements (LICENSE, FILES, SRC_URI, and so on). Next, you will learn how to customize existing recipes in Yocto/OE layers and add layers to your custom environment (qt5 for example).

The Linux kernel

The Linux kernel is a Unix-like operating system kernel created by Linus Torvalds 1991. It was originally developed for 32-bit x86-based PCs, but today, Linux also supports a large set of architectures such as ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, and SPARC. The Linux kernel is a fundamental part of a Linux distribution (such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora).

When deciding which kernel is most suited to your project, it's good to have in mind how kernel releases work. Depending on your needs, you can choose between mainline, developing, or stable kernels. If you don't work with kernel development, it's recommended to avoid using the mainline kernel since it's still under development and is considered unstable. A kernel is always considered stable directly after it has been released from the mainline tree. After that, the kernel will be maintained until the next mainline kernel becomes available (usually in 2-3 months). However, a kernel can be picked as a longterm kernel...
