Project FAQ

How Yocto helps to create a custom distributions faster?
  • The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture.
  • Unlike build systems based on shell scripts or makefiles, the Yocto Project automates how source is fetched from a variety of upstream sources or from local project repositories.
  • Existing embedded developers have many systems from which to choose. Once a system is chosen and a device’s OS has been created, it can often be very difficult and time consuming to trim the distribution to an appropriate footprint size and assemble a working set of components.
  • Then, for the developer’s next project, if updated components are needed, perhaps for bug fixes, security fixes, or new hardware support, the developer typically must start over, with little ability to re-use prior work on distributions.
  • The Yocto Project solves these problems by providing a single focus for embedded development, requiring less time to get a working and up-to-date distribution together. In addition, if commercial support is desired, it is quite simple to transition to a supporting operating system vendor (OSV) who offers products and services compatible with the Yocto Project. All of the major embedded Linux OSVs are active members of the Yocto Project.
What are the key advantages of Yocto over other existing systems?
There are many advantages of using Yocto, which are mentioned below.

  • Highly Customizable: It has a powerful customization architecture that allows the choice of a wide variety of footprint sizes as well as control over the choice or absence of components such as graphics subsystems, visualization middleware, and services. This helps you to create custom Linux distribution exactly as per your requirements.
  • Package selection and compatibility: A complete set of Linux package versions is specified in the metadata for the project; these versions are known to work correctly together. A robust effort within the project is dedicated to keeping this selection of packages fresh and up-to-date. Unlike other systems, however, only a single version of each package is typically provided with the project at any given time. This ensures that the packages are known to work well together, while providing the freedom to replace them at any time as the needs of a given embedded project mature.
  • Package and architecture Agnostic: Yocto Project is package-format agnostic – supporting both major Linux packaging systems (.rpm and .deb), as well as the embedded-friendly ipk format. The Yocto Project is also architecturally agnostic – supporting all major embedded architectures: ARM, 32- and 64-bit x86, PowerPC, and MIPS.
  • Easy to get started: The Yocto Project shares the core build tool (BitBake) and metadata syntax with OpenEmbedded, particularly the core set of components known as openembedded-core. This commonality provides automatic familiarity for developers already using OpenEmbedded. However, the learning curve for getting started with the Yocto Project is less steep. It is easier for new users to create a working distribution with the Yocto Project, and more work is being done currently on this subject with the new Hob graphical user interface.
  • SDK support: When a distribution is created with the Yocto Project, the build tool creates an application development SDK tailored to that distribution. This SDK can plug into the Eclipse IDE or it can be run as a command-line development system, complete with cross tools for the host and development tools for the device being developed.
Do I need to buy necessary resources to do the project?
During the workshop, you will be working with resources (ex: target phone) provided by us. However if you want to have your own environment at home, we recommend buying appropriate resources. Our mentoring team will help you in this regard.
What do you mean by software development workflow in Yocto?
Refer to Yocto Documentation – Workflow section to get all details about workflows in Yocto.
