Description
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 DescriptionThe 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 forIf 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.

Persons
Pierre-Jean TEXIER has been an embedded Linux engineer at Amplitude Systemes (Amplitude Systemes was a pioneer in the marketing of Ytterbium femtosecond lasers) since 2014 where he maintains a custom system on chip i.MX6 with the Yocto project (meta-fsl-arm), which is made by a French company: EUKREA.
He is a graduate of ESTEI school at Bordeaux where he spent 3 years as a student in order to become an embedded Linux Engineer.
He is a big ardent of the world of free software and the embedded world. His knowledge background includes C/C++, Yocto, Linux, Bash, Kernel development but he is also open to trying new things and testing new technologies.
First, I want to thank my patience wife for her during my writing sessions. I also give thanks my parents and my brother, who without them, this book possibly would not have happened.
I would also like to thank all of the mentors that I've had over the years. Mentors such as Cyril SAGONERO, Sylvain LE HENAFF, Pierre BORDELAIS, Vincent POULAILLEAU, Fabrice BONNET, Jean-Claude PERESSINOTTO, Pierre AUBRY. Without learning from these teachers, there is not a chance I could be doing what I do today.
To finish I would like to thanks Eric MOTTAY the CEO of Amplitude Systemes, Luca TESTA the head of Electronics team at Amplitude Systemes for his trust, Hitesham WOODHOO, Alexandre GAMONET, Kevin PINTO and Guillaume MACHINET For the various discussions about the raspberry pi during coffee breaks.
Petter Mabcker is a senior software developer specializing in embedded Linux systems. For the past 8 years, he has been working with embedded Linux professionally. Currently, Petter works as a Scrum Master and senior software developer at Ericsson AB. Additionally, his knowledge includes C/C++, shell scripting, Yocto Project (including BitBake and OpenEmbedded), Scrum, and Git. In 2013, Petter started the small business Technux, which he runs as a side project in parallel with his duties at Ericsson. Some of the focus areas of the business are open source embedded Linux projects, such as the Yocto Project, together with different projects that involve the Raspberry Pi. As part of the work with Technux, Petter works as a contributer to the Yocto Project (including the Raspberry Pi BSP layer, known as meta-raspberrypi).
