Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Developers are increasingly integrating Linux into their embedded systems: It supports virtually all hardware architectures and many peripherals, scales well, offers full source code, and requires no royalties. The Yocto Project makes it much easier to customize Linux for embedded systems. If youre a developer with working knowledge of Linux, Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project will help you make the most of it.An indispensable companion to the official documentation, this guide starts by offering a solid grounding in the embedded Linux landscape and the challenges of creating custom distributions for embedded systems. Youll master the Yocto Projects toolbox hands-on, by working through the entire development lifecycle with a variety of real-life examples that you can incorporate into your own projects.Author Rudolf Streif offers deep insight into Yocto Projects build system and engine, and addresses advanced topics ranging from board support to compliance management.Youll learn how to Overcome key challenges of creating custom embedded distributions Jumpstart and iterate OS stack builds with the OpenEmbedded Build System Master build workflow, architecture, and the BitBake Build Engine Quickly troubleshoot build problems Customize new distros with built-in blueprints or from scratch Use BitBake recipes to create new software packages Build kernels, set configurations, and apply patches Support diverse CPU architectures and systems Create Board Support Packages (BSP) for hardware-specific adaptations Provide Application Development Toolkits (ADT) for round-trip development Remotely run and debug applications on actual hardware targets Ensure open-source license compliance Scale team-based projects with Toaster, Build History, Source Mirrors, and Autobuilder

Foreword

The embedded Linux landscape is a little bit like the Old West: different outposts of technology scattered here and there, with barren and often dangerous landscape in between. If youre going to travel there, you need to be well stocked, be familiar with the territory, and have a reliable guide.

Just as people moved West during the Gold Rush in the mid-1800s, developers are moving into the embedded Linux world with the rush to the Internet of Things. As increased population brought law, order, and civilization to the Old West, important new open source software projects are bringing order to embedded Linux.

The Yocto Project is a significant order-bringer. Its tools let you focus on designing your project (what you want to build) and devote only the necessary minimum of your time and effort to putting it all together (how you build what you want to build).

This book is your reliable guide. In logically ordered chapters with clear and complete instructions, it will help you get your work done and your IoT project to market. And with some luck, youll have fun along the way!

Enjoy your adventure!

Preface

Smart home. Smart car. Smart phone. Smart TV. Smart thermostat. Smart lights. Smart watch. Smart washer. Smart dryer. Smart fridge. Smart basketball. Welcome to the brave new world of smart everything!

The proliferation of embedded computers in almost everything we touch and interact with in our daily lives has moved embedded systems engineering and embedded software development into the spotlight. Hidden from the direct sight of their users, embedded systems lack the attractiveness of web applications with their flashy user interfaces or the coolness of computer games with their animations and immersive graphics. It comes as no surprise that computer science students and software developers hardly ever think of embedded software engineering as their first career choice. However, the smart-everything revolution and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving the demand for specialists who can bridge hardware and software worlds. Experts who speak the language of electric schematics as well as programming languages are sought after by employers.

Linux has become the first choice for an explosively growing number of embedded applications. There are good reasons for this choice, upon which we will elaborate in the coming chapters. Through my journey as an embedded software developer for various industries, I have learned Linux for embedded systems the hard way. There is no shortage of excellent development tools for virtually any programming language. The vast majority of libraries and applications for Linux can easily be built natively because of their tooling. Even building the Linux kernel from scratch is almost a breeze with the kernels own build system. However, when it comes to putting it all together into a bootable system, the choices are scarce.

The Yocto Project closes that gap by providing a comprehensive set of integrated tools with the OpenEmbedded build system at its center. From source code to bootable system in a matter of a few hoursI wish I had that luxury when I started out with embedded Linux!

What This Book Is and What It Is Not

A build system that integrates many different steps necessary to create a fully functional Linux OS stack from scratch is rather complex. This book is dedicated to the build system itself and how you can effectively use it to build your own custom Linux distributions. This book is not a tutorial on embedded Linux. Although how the build system assembles the many different components into an operational system), I do not go into the details of embedded Linux as such. If you are a beginning embedded Linux developer, I strongly recommend Christopher Hallinans excellent Embedded Linux Primer, published in this same book series.

In this book, you will learn how the OpenEmbedded build system works, how you can write recipes to build your own software components, how to use and create Yocto Project board support packages to support different hardware platforms, and how to debug build failures. You will learn how to build software development kits for application development and integrate them with the popular Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) for seamless round-trip development.
