Create unique and amazing projects by using the powerful combination of Yocto and Raspberry Pi

Key Features

Set up and configure the Yocto Project efficiently with Raspberry Pi
Deploy multimedia applications from existing Yocto/OE layers
An easy-to-follow guide to utilize your custom recipes on your Raspberry Pi

Book Description

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).

What you will learn

Explore the basic concept of Yocto s build
system and how it is organized in order to
use it efficiently with Raspberry Pi
Generate your first image with Yocto for
the Raspberry Pi
Understand how to customize your Linux
kernel within the Yocto Project
Customize your image in order to integrate
your own applications
Write your own recipes for your graphical
applications
Integrate a custom layer for the Raspberry Pi

Who this book is for

If you are a student or a developer of embedded software,
embedded Linux engineer or embedded systems in
competence with Raspberry Pi and want to discover the
Yocto Project, then this book is for you. Experience with
Yocto is not needed.
