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.

Diving into BitBake Metadata

What is Toaster?


Toaster is a web interface that's used to configure and run builds. It communicates with the BitBake and Poky build system to manage and gather information about builds, packages, and images.

There are two ways of using Toaster:

  • Locally: We can run Toaster as a local instance. This is suitable for single-user development, providing a graphic interface to the BitBake command lines and some build information.
  • Hosted: This is suitable for multiple users. When Toaster is set up as a hosted instance, its components can be spread across several machines so the users' builds are run on the Toaster build servers.

In this chapter, we are going to use Toaster as a local instance. If you want to use it as a hosted instance, please look at the following website: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/toaster-manual/toaster-manual.html.

Note

Bear in mind that every hosted service requires attention with its security. Think about this before using a hosted instance.
