Hello,

Will anyone recommend some classes regarding yocto and open embedded?  It
would be nice to get up to speed quickly and into the nitty gritty instead
of an overview.

Something covering the following items would be nice:

1.  How should projects be laid out?  Distro, image, task, BSP, what things
should go where?
2.  How should subprojects inherit from superprojects?  If you need to
create many subplatforms from a base platform, what's the best way to go
about this?
3.  How should classes such as distutils be created to be inherited by
other recipes (ruby modules that require a C extension to be compiled would
be one example).
4.  How should hardware specific software be handled?

I fear that (as a newb) I will design a layout that will be sub-optimal,
but we'll discover that after we have 25 platforms that will need major
refactoring.  :)

Thanks,

Seth

Seth - it sounds like you need something different than an overview class. I think you might want to have one of the consultants who are familiar with building projects using the Yocto Project work for you for a couple of days to help you sort these things out, for a fee. I'm sure one of them on this mailing list would be willing to offer their help. (Guys - you know who you are...)

Hi,

How about these classes by the Linux Foundation?

https://training.linuxfoundation.org/courses/linux-developer/building-embedded-linux-with-yocto-crash-course

https://training.linuxfoundation.org/courses/linux-developer/building-embedded-linux-with-yocto

... and of course there is also customized stuff ...

Regards,

Robert
