Abstract: There is a rising demand for embedded support of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger applications. In this talk I will present my recent work of integrating IOTA DLT into the OpenEmbedded space. I will present what has already been integrated into meta-iota, as well as the next steps. The meta-iota layer will soon be supported … Continued
Abstract: From-scratch builds, even using server grade machines (with 40+ cores) will take just under an hour to complete. Additionally this estimate is just for minimal, stripped down images; Bigger images that bring up more than just core functionality and support things like web browsers/multimedia would take much longer (on the order of several hours). … Continued
Abstract: The usage of Tegra, the CUDA-enabled system on a chip (SoC) series developed by NVIDIA, is increasing in embedded Linux devices for various industries requiring deep learning and artificial intelligence solutions. Often the Ubuntu-derived image provided by NVIDIA L4T and JetPack SDK isn’t flexible enough. Reliable high-quality industrial devices require a custom embedded Linux … Continued
Abstract: The Yocto Project is using Buildbot for continuous integration services. AutoBuilder is a project that automates build tests and Quality Assurance (QA) upon a Buildbot configuration for the Yocto Project through metadata. Buildbot is a software development continuous integration tool which automates the compile or test cycle required to validate changes to the project … Continued
Abstract: In the 3.0 Zeus release, we have added ‘resulttool’ and ‘yocto-testresults’. This new age of enlightenment gives us much more data about how the builds are proceeding and a measure of the health of each of the components. What is resulttool? How do we interpret the results? What can we do with those results? … Continued
Abstract: This paper will present how the Yocto Project can be used to create container images for use with container runtimes such as Docker. A brief introduction to container image formats will lead into more in-depth discussions about building container images. The Yocto Project build approach will be compared to popular tools currently in use … Continued
Abstract: This year Google announced the Coral Dev Board which is a low cost development board to quickly prototype on-device ML products. The development board is based on a removable system-on-module (SoM). The official supported software for the Coral Dev Board is Mendel OS, which is a Debian derivative. This is a fairly common approach, … Continued
