[WORK IN PROGRESS]

This Yocto Project Cookbook collects working examples of how to use the Yocto Project, filling some of the gaps between the Yocto Project Quick Start Guide and the full reference documentation. Like any cookbook, we'll include both basic and complex examples you can follow to learn about the pantry of components and files available, and about the techniques for manipulating them using Yocto Project tools.

We encourage you, the Yocto Project community, to add

  • your own examples,
  • pointers to training materials,
  • tips,
  • and any other material that may be helpful to new and experienced users of Yocto Project.

Please test all procedures before adding them to this page; and if you do see a problem or improvement, start a discussion (use the discussion tab at the top of this page) , or edit the page itself!
