Yocto for open source embedded systems development
summary
Overview of Yocto as a build framework for custom embedded Linux distributions, showing actual steps: clone a release, edit local.conf for poky or a target machine, run bitbake to fetch, patch and compile packages (first build takes a few hours), produce an OS image and a self-contained SDK installer script, run images in QEMU or write to microSD for BeagleBone Black or Raspberry Pi. Notes hardware needs (4–8 GB RAM, hundreds of GB disk) and common pitfalls building BSPs.
