Hob

Hob is a graphical user interface for BitBake. Its primary goal is to enable a user to perform common tasks more easily.

The primary focus of the initial Hob release in Yocto 1.1 was to enable a user to generate a custom OS image.  This next major release of Hob in Yocto Project  version 1.2  is the result of a community-based design effort and represents a complete Hob overhaul.  This version of Hob is an improved developer experience, both for the experienced user and for the beginner.  Here is what you can do with this version of Hob:

  • Modify existing images
  • Create custom images
  • Save customized images as templates
  • Build images
  • Run images in the QEMU emulator
  • Deploy images to a USB disk for live-booting on a target device
