Yocto Project Season of Docs

About

The Yocto Project is an open-source project that delivers a set of tools that create operating system images for embedded Linux systems. The Yocto Project tools are based on the OpenEmbedded (OE) project, which uses the BitBake build tool, to construct complete Linux images. BitBake and OE are combined to form a reference build host known as Poky which includes the following core components. This video will help explain what it's all about.

Richard Purdie, the Yocto Project's lead developer and Linux Foundation Fellow, considers documentation to be one of the cornerstones of the project. One of the very first members of that team to work on what became the Yocto Project 10 years ago was Scott Rifenbark, the project's tech writer. Sadly, Scott passed away early this year.
