Yocto Project

M2, Moneyball, and a new way to create software

Cross-posted from my blog on the Yocto Project website. Check us out there and the other things we're doing on Embedded Linux.

I sat down this morning to jot down a few words about the latest Yocto Project development milestone, which has the very homely name of "M2". We pause at this time to branch our code, run a full pass of our QA suite and make sure we are on track with major features. (This is all good by the way).

Our on-screen eye candy and the Yocto Project

The Linux Foundation did a nice little two-minute video clip of Jefro, our Yocto Project Community Manager, talking about last October's 1.1 release, and the upcoming 1.2 release planning. Check it out!

Jefro claims that he looks kind of sleepy, but clearly the camera loves him!

Opportunities to learn about the Yocto Project at IDF

If you are attending the Intel Developer Forum, you have a couple of great opportunities to learn about the Yocto Project and how it helps embedded Linux.

  • Hands-on Lab: Create a Custom Embedded Linux* OS for Any Embedded Device using the Yocto Project - Wednesday (9/14) at 1:05PM, repeated at 3:20PM, Room 2012 - This is a fantastic opportunity to get your hands on the Yocto Project software to see how easy it is to set up and build your own custom Linux OS for an embedded device.  Here is the abstract:

YOCTO 1.1 - THE BETA TEST

I'm cross-posting this from my blog over at the Yocto Project. Would you be willing to check out the beta of our next release?

We finished up all of our expected feature development on the Yocto Project version 1.1, due out in October. After some stabilization and bug fixing, we're encouraging everyone to try out our bits. Would you check it out? You just need a Linux system (a recent release of Fedora or Ubuntu works best) and the necessary workarounds for git and http to work with any network proxy you might have. (Instructions for this are below).

Aggressive Parking Negotiations and embedded computing

I was just in Los Angeles this week for a few days of holiday with my family. With apologies to the Angelinos who might read this post, we got an excellent exposure to the local culture: Traffic snarls, over-the-top personalities in restaurants, loud vocal complaints about "tourists" and agressive negotiations.

What it's like to work as a software person at Intel (video)

I'm taking a break from my usual posts about embedded Linux and the Yocto Project to let you in on a little secret.

Working at as a software person at Intel can be pretty awesome.

A few weeks ago, we had a video crew stalking our offices, rolling tape on some of our work day. I heard last night from Sarah Sharp that the result was up on YouTube. It was intended as a recruitment tool, but it's a nice artifact of everyday life here. Some highlights from the video:

    Go Big or Go Home

    A couple of months ago, the Yocto Project reached a kind of strange milestone. Some of my friends like Bill Mills suggested I should be blogging about it, but for some reason it was hard for me wrap my head around it. Here's my attempt.
