Join us for an interactive Birds of a Feather session focused on using the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded to build ROS and ROS 2 for embedded and edge platforms. We’ll explore the meta-ros layer, share best practices for customizing Linux distributions, and discuss opportunities for collaboration between the ROS and Yocto communities. Whether you’re already deploying ROS with Yocto or just curious about what’s possible, this BoF is a great chance to connect, ask questions, and exchange ideas with fellow developers.
