Overview of this book

Yocto Project is turning out to be the best integration framework for creating reliable embedded Linux projects. It has the edge over other frameworks because of its features such as less development time and improved reliability and robustness. Embedded Linux Development using Yocto Project starts with an in-depth explanation of all Yocto Project tools, to help you perform different Linux-based tasks. The book then moves on to in-depth explanations of Poky and BitBake. It also includes some practical use cases for building a Linux subsystem project using Yocto Project tools available for embedded Linux. The book also covers topics such as SDK, recipetool, and others. By the end of the book, you will have learned how to generate and run an image for real hardware boards and will have gained hands-on experience at building efficient Linux systems using Yocto Project.

Booting Our Custom Embedded Linux

It's time! We are now ready to boot our custom-made embedded Linux, as we have learned the required concepts and gained enough knowledge about the Yocto Project and Poky. In this chapter, we will practice what we have learned so far about using Poky with external BSP layers, use it to generate an image for use with BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi 3, and Wandboard machines, and boot it using the SD card.

The same concepts can be applied to every other board, as long as the vendor provides a BSP layer to use with the Yocto Project.

We will see a list of the most commonly used BSP layers in this chapter. This should not be taken as a complete list, or as a definitive one, but we want to facilitate your search for the needed layer in case you have one board of a specific vendor next to you. This list is as follows, in alphabetic order:
