Thanks for your suggestion! You are right about SDK and most people in
the development team would normally write applications for the board
using the SDK.

I will probably allocate 50% of the talk to SDK after explaining what
Yocto is, and how we can use it to build a root image. I'm thinking of
showing how the kernel/fs guy can work, and how other team members can
use the image easily.

Thank you for the links. I also got yocto project presentations.
