Embedded Linux with Yocto: Deep Foundation & Customization
HRDC Reg. No: 10001702890
Duration: 35 hours (5 days)
Course Overview
Embedded Linux with Yocto: Deep Foundation & Customization provides deep insights into Embedded Linux by giving participants an in-depth understanding of key Embedded Linux components such as bootloaders, kernel, and root filesystem with extensive hands-on practice.
All components are built, configured, and patched using the Yocto Build System. The course covers Yocto Build System concepts through practical examples, including recipes, layers, classes, BSP layers, BitBake metadata, kernel customization, bootloader customization, and root filesystem customization.
By the end of the course, participants will understand the Embedded Linux boot flow and gain the practical foundation required to customize Embedded Linux images for target platforms using Yocto.
