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).

Open source

Open source can be described as source code available to the general public. Open source software can be read, modified, and redistributed by anyone. This means that developers can use the original code in their own projects without paying any license fee to the owner of the code. Successful open source projects are often built as a community of developers that collaborates and ensures that the open source projects are moving in the intended direction.

Tip

The Linux kernel and OpenStack are two of the most famous open source projects. The Yocto Project and it's subprojects are other examples of large open source projects, especially within the embedded world.

Open source communities usually consist of at least one maintainer. A maintainer is a person responsible for integrating patches into the project and building the source code. In the integration part, the maintainer often has an important role of either reviewing the patches sent up by developers in the community or...
