Embedded Linux Development With Yocto Project: Develop Fascinating Linux-Based Projects Using the Groundbreaking Yocto Project Tools

It is a nice book, mostly a subset of the manual. Personally I bought it mostly to endorse the authors, since I think they do a great job. I am going to use this book for a competence group I am having at work. The Yocto project itself fulfills the individual members expectations on the outcome of the course. So this book will be a nice asset for them.I recommend this book for educational purposes and as a quick reference during development.

I previously jumped into developing using Yocto in a university project, and limited myself to just using the available online Yocto documentation at the time. This book has cleared up some of the confusion that I had after reading those documents. I feel that in some sections of the book a diagram or better examples could be added to better explain some of the details. Some chapters that I was looking forward to reading and understanding were very limited, and didn't go into the detail that I was expecting. However, as the project is continually being developed these details change, and so it is more important to grasp the ideas outlined in the book as a basis before heading into the continually updated online documentation.

Most of the content is pretty good, but some of it is definitely dated

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Yocto, and is written in a much more approachable way than the official documentation. I think this book will give easy access new Yocto users. It also provides some insight to features which have confused me, even though I have used Yocto for some time, which means the book is also useful for experienced users.Thanks for the book!

Very nice book for starting with Yocto, I've had few weeks of work with Yocto before buying the book and now lots of concept are way more clear. Not 5 star because I was expecting a more in depth explanation of Yocto on all of his part, it's a book that you can read in a day, this book is a great addition to the Yocto manual.

This book is needed as there is little published documentation in this format. There is considerable, thorough, and well written documentation online, but sometimes having a book at hand is very useful.The book is fairly well written but its clearly aimed at those new to Yocto or OpenEmbedded. This is good because it is a difficult subject, large and complex, and solid introduction books are a benefit there. On the other hand, there is information missing, for example how to hook up SPDX with Yocto. It might be considered unfair to be critical of this book for not covering subject matter that is (surprisingly) poorly covered in the Yocto manual, but a mention in the index would be valuable and I think that license compliance is a key area in embedded at the moment, so I expected at least a mention in the index of SPDX.If you're looking for an introduction that's understandable, this book is your best bet.

Outdated, too basic. I found the same information in the web site

This is really great book to yocto beginners.1. The book explains concepts of yocto and related project like OpenEmbedded, Poky, and so on.2. It also explains basic grammars of OpenEmbedded and usage examples of real world.Very Recommendable !!!

Easy reading, very didactic and going directly to exactly what you need to learn to start working with the Yocto Project. A must read for anyone that is considering to use Yocto on embedded projects.

Le livre est intitulé "Développement Linux embarqué avec le projet Yocto", je trouve qu'il s'agit plutôt des bases de la mise en oeuvre de Yocto. Ce qu'il fait plutôt bien. C'est bien expliqué, l'évolution est logique, ... ça se lit facilement et moins d'une journée, on acquiert l'essentiel des mécanismes et des termes. On peut toujours revenir dessus ou consulter la doc officielle (ce qui restera indispensable). Certains passages sont quand même un peu courts.Je l'ai lu après quelques semaines d'utilisation de Yocto. Cela a clarifié quelques points. Il reste des questions en suspend mais qui sont intrinsèquement liées au nommage, au design, ... Car Yocto, c'est "relativement" simple ... quand il n'y a rien à modifier ! Dans la pratique, les embûches et questionnements ne manquent pas, d'autant que de subtiles variantes peuvent provenir de l'implémentation.C'est donc une bonne entrée en matière, suivie d'une partie finale qui se veut pratique, avec la mise en oeuvre sur une carte WandBoard. Cette dernière partie s'en tient au minimum : récupérer les sources, builder, mettre sur la carte SD et démarrer. Ca aurait pu être l'occasion de mettre en pratique ce qui a été expliqué auparavant : créer son propre layer, ajouter ou supprimer une feature, ajouter une application, déboguer, configurer un service, ...Ce livre est donc très bien pour commencer, il donne l'essentiel du bagage pour se frotter à Yocto, sans vous accompagner plus avant, là où ça pique. Pour comparaison avec le parachutisme : vous avez appris les principes, les notions de météo et de sécurité, vous avez sauté du mur de 3 mètres mais ... après la lecture vous vous retrouvez dans l'avion et devant vous : le grand saut !

This is a very good book for newby with Yocto. If you need to know the basics to start with Yocto this is the right choice.The book cover step by step all the procedure explaining Yocto, Poky, Bitbake and Open-embedded coe and so on.Have a nice time!Claudio

Don't expect to buy a theoretical manual about Yocto project, but a useful and practical guide to understand and to begin to work with Yocto project.I'm really satisfied with it.

Small book, written in simple words, you can grasp quicklyPaper quality is not that good because it is an indian reprint
