Ross Burton has been working on the Yocto Project for nearly a year and previously worked on its precursor, Poky. The Yocto Project helps companies build customized Linux distributions for embedded products like set-top boxes, digital signs, networking equipment, and more. It provides advantages over general purpose desktop distributions by being designed for long-term use, having reproducible builds, and allowing full customization while maintaining standards and support.
Yocto Project Open Source Build System and Collaboration InitiativeMarcelo Sanz
A detailed introduction to the Yocto Project, an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of hardware architecture.
Yocto Project looked over by Linux Foundation is an open source project. Yocto can be summarized in a single - "It is not an embedded Linux distribution, It creates a custom one for you"
My presentation provides an overview of Yocto Project, an easy starters guide.
The Yocto Project is a collaborative open source project that provides prototypes, tools and methods that let you create personalized Linux-based systems for embedded products independent from the hardware architecture. The project was born in 2010 as a partnership of many different hardware manufacturers, open-source operative systems providers and electronic companies, to bring some order to the chaos that was the development of Linux Embedded. Why use Project Yocto? Because it's a development environment for Linux embedded complete with tools, meta-data and documentation - everything that one needs. The free of charge tools that Yocto makes available are powerful and easy to generate (included emulation environments, debuggers, a tool-kit to generate applications and others) and they let you create and continue projects, without causing you a loss of optimizations and investments made in the prototyping phase. Project Yocto supports the adoption of this technology by the open-source community letting users concentrate on the characteristics and development of their product.

Talk I gave at The Yocto Project Summit Oct 29-30 2020 entitled: Yocto Project Kernel Lab Hands-On. The Yocto Project Summit was a 2-day summit at the tail end of the Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE) 2020. This class was delivered virtually to an audience of roughly 60 attendees.
The talk discusses using The Yocto Project tooling to facilitate common Linux kernel tasks such as configuration, BSP creation, kernel modification, Linux kernel config fragments, and more.
Yocto project has been used at Open-RnD for building a number of IoT related products. The talk will go though the details of integration of Poky build system and OpenEmbedded layers into 3 projects carried out at Open-RnD:
an antonomous parking space monitoring system
a distributed 3D steroscopic image acquisition system
a gadget for acquisition of metabolic parameters of professional athletes
The presentation will approach to building software, automation and upstreaming of fixes.
Open-RnD is a small software company from Łódź, Poland. We have started using Yocto/Poky in late 2013 as a better alternative to in-house build system. Since then, we have successfully implemented a number of projects based on Poky. The presentation will go through the details of 3 projects that cover a diverse range of applications:
an autonomous parking space monitoring system (ParkEasily)
a distributed 3D stereoscopic image acquisition system (Ros3D)
a gadget for acquisition of metabolic parameters of professional athletes (Sonda)
We only use widely available hardware platforms such as BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi, Wandboard or Gateworks GW5400 (not as widely used as the previous ones, but still fully supported), hence all the points made during presentation are directly applicable by professionals and hobbyists alike.

The Yocto Project provides an integrated environment to develop and debug custom embedded Linux systems, similar to commercial embedded Linux development environments.
In this talk, we will introduce the different parts and lexicon of the Yocto Project: poky, OpenEmbedded-core, bitbake, layers, recipes, machine, distro, etc. Different “How to” will be detailed: how to configure it, build an image from layers, create recipes and add a custom machine.
Throughout the talk, many good practices will be detailed. Thanks to that, the audience will have a good overview of Yocto Project and will know how to start using it in an effective way.
This talk is intended for developers or technical people who want to work/start with Yocto/Openembedded. Good practices are important when working with Yocto Project and will be detailed in this presentation.
No particular knowledge is required to attend this talk.

Debian or Yocto Project? Which is the best for your Embedded Linux project?Chris Simmonds
As you contemplate how to put together the system software for your next Embedded Linux project you will probably be pondering which is the best path to take? Use a Linux distro such as Debian, (or another of your choosing), or create a custom operating system using Yocto Project (or Open Embedded or Buildroot). At first sight, Debian looks easy, especially if you are using a Raspberry Pi, a BeagleBone, or another board with a pre-installed Debian-derived system. So, why go to all the trouble of replacing it with Yocto?
In this talk I will show you the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, using real-world use cases as examples. Spoiler alert: my conclusion is that ... it all depends what you want to do. Debian is great for fast implementation and proof-of-concept, but for long term maintainability and control of the platform, you need Yocto
I did an overview of Embedded Linux topics (arch, SoCs, SBCs, kernel dev community, real-time, device tree, building root filesystem, etc) in 2014 for the Embedded Systems meetup at my hackerspace: http://www.meetup.com/NERP-Not-Exclusively-Raspberry-Pi/events/183068212/
Bugs happen. Identifying and fixing them is part of the development process. This tutorial demonstrates one of the key tools in the embedded Linux developer’s toolbox: the GNU Debugger, GDB.
You will begin by using GDB to debug a program running on a target device. You will learn about debug symbols: how build them into programs and libraries, and the places that GDB will go looking for them. Next, you will perform basic debugging tasks, including setting breakpoints, stepping through code, examining variables and modifying variables. After that you will lean about GDB command files and how they can help you by automating certain tasks. You will receive a handy GDB cribsheet to help you with all of this. If time allows, we will discuss how to use GDB to analyse core dumps so that you can perform a post-mortem on a crashed program

RDKB is Open Source Broadband Gateway platform stack, built on top of an OpenEmbedded build framework. It’s currently deployed on all Comcast broadband home gateways. This talk will introduce the internals of RDKB and features forming the basis of the IoT framework for the Comcast Network.
In Embedded system a set of applications used to perform a complex task or to create a product, which is typically another computer program or a system of programs. Tools are linked (or chained) together by specific stages. Output or resulting environment state of the tool becomes input or starting environment for the next one. By default the host contains some development tools which are called native tool-chain. Here is the presentation that shares mode details on components of tool-chain and how to build them for your own embedded distribution.

BKK16-406 Ubuntu Core - a snappy platform for Embedded, IoT and 96boards!Linaro
During first part of this session, Alexander will give a technology perspective on the motivation, features and possibilities that Ubuntu's latest rendition has to offer for developers and product makers of smart embedded and IoT devices.
Alexander will walk the audience through the building blocks and core ingredients that make up a snappy solution and will show how snappy unifies concepts found in traditional binary distribution with those observed in modern consumer grade Linux products to make a platform for building modern, smart IoT device products.
During the second half of this session Ricardo Mendoza, lead architect behind snappy Ubuntu Core, will showcase snappy Ubuntu Core running on the 96boards Dragonboard 410c. The showcase will include a bottom-to-top image creation demo taking building blocks from the Ubuntu Core online store in real time, followed by a deployment of the image on the Dragonboard hardware, then a demo of available snaps for the platform.
In his part of the presentation, Ricardo will illustrate how well aligned the concepts behind 96boards and snappy Ubuntu Core are, to show how hand in hand they can become a very versatile platform for all IoT and embedded device manufacturers to quickly bring their products to market and benefit from an expanding ecosystem of applications through the Ubuntu Store.
Development environments are a necessary part of every developer's workflow. They can also be a great source of friction. What may begin as simply running python my_app.py eventually bloats as you add more apps, more databases, more testing frameworks, and more developers. We'll talk about the evolution of a typical development environment, how it lets us down, and how we try to make it better. We'll end with an introduction to Dusty, a new tool which uses Docker containers to take our development environments to the next level.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
