Course description

This module is a part of Eneas customer -configurable embedded Linux training offering available in:

• 1-day basic version providing a theoretical understanding of the topics covered demonstrated using hands-on exercises
• 2-day alternative aiming to give a deeper understanding of the technology covered, with some added content but more importantly with a high focus on modifications, optimization and debugging techniques

 Both versions of the module can also be delivered as a stand-alone training.

This module provides an in-depth introduction to “The Yocto Project” Linux distribution management framework. The training provides a ground-up, hands-on learning experience on Yocto Linux distributions.

The goal of the training is to start a Yocto Project from scratch and includes step by step instructions and exercises to obtain a fully customized Linux distribution for the take-away multi-core ARM development board. All documented Yocto Project development models are explained and exercises are provided for a better understanding of the theory.

The extended version of the module provides a full roadmap on how to design, start, develop, manage and debug your own Linux distribution. Also, information around customizing your distribution is added (eg machine and kernel customization). But most importantly the second day will focus on more complex exercises and debugging your distributions.

The ENEA Linux platform will be used as training material on top of the Yocto Project software.
