Screencast Video: Getting Started with the Yocto Project

[Scott Garman]

Hi everyone,

I am excited to announce a video training resource for new
users of the Yocto Project. It is the "Getting Started with the
Yocto Project" screencast:

This half-hour screencast 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 it)
* 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 list,
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.

I hope this screencast becomes a useful training resource to help get
new users up to speed as quickly as possible with the Yocto Project.

Enjoy,

Scott
