This is a lab session that will walk you through several exercises using Devtool. Speakers: Tim Orling, Sr. Linux Software Engineer, Intel Corporation Tim Orling is a software engineer at the Intel Open Source Technology Center. Tim joined Intel in early 2016 after many years as a volunteer developer for OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project. … Continued
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
Abstract As storage size and processing power is increasing on the low end of embedded devices, using full distributions on embedded and IoT devices is becoming more pervasive. The ease of use, larger user communities, and ability to easily add precompiled packages could cause current users to drop Yocto in favor of one of the … Continued
Abstract: Using the Yocto Project master branch for a CI/CD (DevOps) approach has it’s challenges. I will discuss moving from a stable release and uplift strategy to a continuous integration, continuous development and continuous delivery model using Yocto Project, OpenEmbedded and related community layers. I will include information on my experiences and the challenges as … Continued
