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 to create containers images such as Dockerfiles, Cloud Build, and BuildKit. Topics might include licensing, ease of use, reproducible and build time. Based on these topics we will explore how the Yocto Project might be modified to improve the building of container images.

Speaker: Mark Asselstine, Software Architect, Wind River

Mark is a long-time Yocto Project contributor who has worked with embedded Linux for over 12 years. In his role as a software architect at Wind River, Mark works with customers on real world usecases for virtualization and containerization. This work has lead him to be a frequent contributor to the meta-virtualization and meta-cloud-services layers. He is also a member of the steering committee for the OverC project, a containerized Linux OS framework written as a Yocto Project layer.

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, to provide a Debian derivative, making it very easy to get started to prototype on the hardware.

For a production grade setup it is preferable to use Yocto/OE-core and in this presentation Mirza will go through the process of creating meta-coral which is a BSP layer supporting the Google Coral Dev Board.

This layer is heavily based on the available BSP components that are offered in Mendel OS. Mirza will also cover current status of meta-coral as in what works and what does not, and possible future development where he is looking for collaborators.

There will also be a live demonstrating successfully booting an Yocto/OE-core image on the Google Coral Dev Board.

Speaker: Mirza Krak, Northern Tech

Mirza Krak is an Embedded Linux Solutions Architect with seven years of experience in the field and is currently with the Mender.io open source project. Mirza was a Mender community member for a couple of years which led to him joining the Mender project full-time in 2018.

He is involved in various other open source projects and is a Linux kernel contributor.

Mirza’s expertise is within Board Support Package development which ranges from hardware bringup, bootloaders, Linux kernel and build systems (Yocto/OE-core). Mirza has spoken at various conferences including Embedded Linux Conference (US & EU), NDC Techtown, and other technology conferences.

 

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 full size distributions. By providing a binary package feed, Yocto can reduce exposure to losing users to this. This will also have other benefits for Yocto users, such as enabling faster developer use of packages and reduce the amount of rebuilds.

This task is very much a work in progress. Jon Mason will go into the background of the dilemma, the work currently being done to implement this in Yocto, the design decisions and trade-offs, and future work.

Speaker: Jon Mason, Arm

Jon Mason is a Software Engineer with nearly 20 years experience in the industry. Jon joined Arm in October 2018 with his sole purpose being to make all Arm aspects of Yocto/OE as awesome as possible. Most recently, he was employed at Broadcom performing a variety of tasks including Linux kernel bring-up on new Arm SoCs, enabling hardware in u-boot, and porting Zephyr to a new Arm Cortex-A based SoC. Much of this development was done in the Yocto environment, which provided Jon a good background for his current role.

Outside of work, Jon maintains NTB and a few other drivers in Linux.

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 both a contributor and consumer of the components, tracking contributions, integration of new content, testing challenges and release readiness practices.

DATE: Thursday, October 31 – Friday, November 1, 2019

TIME: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

LOCATION: Lyon Convention Center

REGISTRATION:
Together with your ELCE registration or standalone registration.

The Yocto Project Summit, scheduled for October 31-November 1, 2019 at the Lyon Convention Centre, Lyon, France, is a technical conference for engineers, open source technologists, students and academia in the OSS space.  Organized in conjunction with ELCE 2019, this 2-day event is where individuals will learn about Yocto Projects’ direction — including, but not limited to, new releases, development tools, features — get training on the next wave of embedded Linux technologies (segment previously known as Yocto Project Developer Day), and network with their industry peers, Yocto Project maintainers and experts.

For the first time, the Yocto Project Developer Day has expanded its scope to include both the workshop for engineers building customized Linux distributions and applications, as well as an open forum where maintainers, trainers and users present papers on how the project is evolving and how they are using it.

WHY ATTEND?
Learn how Yocto Project-based software and new features, never seen before in the community, can help harness the power of automation and cross compiling to overcome development barriers and formulate efficient approaches to follow CI/CD models, DevOps practices, cybersecurity requirements and more.
Summit attendees will:

• Hear from Yocto Project maintainers about current release topics such as automated testing, optimized builds, automated CVE analysis, SPDX license identifiers, automated recipe upgrades
• Attend sessions on DevOps, cybersecurity, containers, edge computing
• Gain hands-on experience with the Yocto Project infrastructure and tools

Our knowledgeable and engaging instructors will help you better understand topics like build system workflow, examining recipes, recipe build steps, working with layers, building applications, poky, Toaster, and devtool. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll have a chance to network and put your new skills to work, too.

Attending the Yocto Project Summit will provide you with a strong base of knowledge around the Yocto Project developer tools and how they are being used in the industry.
