DevHeads Weekly Office Hours, 8/23/24: Introduction to Embedded Linux—Yocto vs Poky vs OpenEmbedded
In this Office Hours session, DevHeads’ Ming takes us into fundamental concepts that form the backbone of Yocto, Poky, and OpenEmbedded. Understanding these differences is crucial to navigating the world of embedded systems development effectively.
• What is Yocto? Yocto is not just a single entity but rather a collection of tools and metadata used to create custom Linux-based systems for embedded devices.
• Role of Poky: Poky serves as a starting point for building custom embedded Linux distributions using Yocto tools and methodologies.
• OpenEmbedded: OpenEmbedded is the upstream build system for the Yocto Project. It is a powerful and flexible framework for building custom Linux distributions for embedded systems.
Key Differences:
• Scope and Flexibility
• Level of Abstraction
• Community and Ecosystem
