Cross-posted from the Yocto Blog, www.yoctoproject.org. Would love to get your feedback here.

We're currently looking over this website (www.yoctoproject.org) and discussing what we could improve. If you have any ideas, we would love to hear them - just pop a mail over to yocto@yoctoproject.org and send us your thoughts.

Announcing new Yocto Project kernel documentation

The Yocto Project is pleased to announce some new kernel documentation on the yoctoproject.org web site and a revision for the Poky Reference Manual.

Kernel Architecture and Use Manual

We have just released a new manual on the project web site which explains the major concepts and usage of the Yocto Project kernel. The kernel is based on the Linux kernel from kernel.org, and includes a mechanism for applying git branches for various architectures, platforms and devices. The document is available from

The natural evolution of building embedded Linux

The thing I love about engineers and working with engineers is that they rarely leave well enough alone.

Particularly software engineers. They work with computers every day. Any kind of activity which is repetitive and boring is perfect to farm out to a computer.

Why embedded Linux needs a project like the Yocto Project

Cross-posting this from the blog on the Yocto Project website. See http://www.yoctoproject.org for a whole series of posts about embedded Linux.

Last week I was presenting as a guest at the 8th International System-on-Chip Conference, discussing "Creating Coherence in SoC Linux". It was a lot of fun talking to a very knowledgable group of embedded system designers.

Making embedded demos is not pretty

Cross-posted from my blog on the Yocto Project website:

There is an old saying that is quite reliable: "Those who love sausage and the law should see neither being made." I have a friend who once was involved in making what he called "hot pack" sausage. The description nearly turned me into a vegetarian.

But I would perhaps extend this to technology demos.

See you at the International SOC Conference

I'll be speaking this week at the 8th International System-on-Chip conference in Irvine, California.

My topic is "Creating Coherence in SoC Linux" and I'll be talking about the Yocto Project. My intent is to show how Yocto can help embedded developers produce Linux-based solutions quicker and more reliably.

I will also be on a panel discussion called "Software Strategies, Planning, and Solutions, for Embedded Multicore SoC Platform Development" with a group of embedded software experts. Hope I do OK.

Announcing the Yocto Project - Embedded Linux project

Recently I wrote on my blog here about how difficult it is to work with Embedded Linux. This was not intended to criticize Linux as an option for embedded. Rather, I wanted to create a discussion about the subject of build systems and why they are important for embedded projects.

Again, here is what I think people want:

  1. Pick the architecture you want to use, whether it's some flavor of ARM or x86 or some of the other ones popular in embedded.
