Getting started with Yocto Project
summary
Demo builds a 32‑bit QEMU image using Yocto kirkstone: git clone -b kirkstone, source OE-init-build-env, set MACHINE=qemuarm in local.conf, then run bitbake core-image-minimal. Builds normally take hours but a prefilled sstate cache cuts that to minutes. Resulting images land in tmp/deploy/images/qemuarm (ext4 rootfs, zImage); boot with runqemu --no-gui. Add packages by cloning meta-oe and using image_install_append="nano"; create a meta-example layer and a simple hello‑world recipe. Yocto powers an estimated 100M+ devices.
