Getting Started with the Yocto Project - New Developer Screencast Tutorial

NOTE: You will definitely want to view this video in large or full-screen mode at 720p resolution!
This half-hour screencast by Scott Garman introduces you to the Yocto Project and explains its benefits. It also includes live demos which explain the following:
* An overview of the Poky build system
* How the Poky sources are organized (types of metadata and where to find them)
* How to build your first Linux image and run it under emulation
* An introduction to recipes and an explanation of the most common types of metadata, using actual recipe examples
* An introduction to layers
* Where to obtain Yocto BSPs from
* How simple it is to download and enable a Yocto BSP
* Where to find further project resources (documentation, mailing lists, git repository, bugzilla)
By the end of this screencast, a new user will understand fundamental concepts about the build system, and be able to start their exploration of the Yocto Project with a solid foundation of knowledge.

Thank you for the greatest Yocto tutorial I've ever watched!

[@ozancansel]

[@maidenfan1484]

Great video, helped me a lot to simplify the Yocto structure....Thanks.

[@monikpatel241]

good for starting with yocto... thanks man...:)

[@drakedorosh9332]

Thanks for posting this is one of the best video from yocto. My board with an Allwinner H8 has proprietary cooties. It shipped with binaries. I do have a detailed circuit diagram. Is that enough to write my own BSP?

[@MrNaishadh]

Concise and clear..!!!

[@vishalgupta7268]

superb !!!!

[@usavarma]

Awesome..Thank you..

[@data901]

This was a really useful tutorial. I haven't seen many that go beyond a high-level explanation of all of this, which isn't very usefull because it doesn't answer "how", only "what". I don't suppose you know of any other tutorials similar to this one that goes into more depth?

[@Bokto1]

So, this bbclass files, they are similar to Gentoo e-builds, with bash instead of python?

[@nathand256]

Great Video!

[@mohdfaraz47]

Thanks for posting this. Cani know the Quality attributes that architects thought of when designing Yocto ?

[@palomothings]

Great Info! I would like to participate in some way, I have experience in this field. Congrats for the video!

[@pinksheeptwopointzero]

Doing my Yocto Project now.

[@icegray7]

Hi, Could you please give me some hints to understand the relation between angstrom and yocto?

[@muhammadiqbal8389]

Very nice video

[@jainish1471]

helpful for developing own project

[@andreiemi]

this info is still usable or is out of data?

[@bilalwasim3419]

This is so cool..

[@alkismavridis1]

What is the language used in the .conf files?

[@jaykickliter]

Does anybody know how much of this info is out of date?

[@schematica]

Going to try this on an old minnow board...

[@rallokkcaz]

I found this video on another account, I was like wtf, is this 10 years old? And I was right lol.

[@jensriisomschultz3809]

So much peesplash! :D good video though.

[@vumfyi3749]

[@dvdqun]

SO MUCH RAMBLING

[@optimalsupreme5080]

pfft this is what I hate ..oh revolution this or that ..new idea embedded system..All was done better on, and with the Classic Amiga hardware/OS . The Amiga still cant be beat in any area.This the funny part or rather sad part. Linux was invented on an Amiga in 1988.
