The Yocto Project Developer Day is a one day, hands-on training event that puts you in direct contact with Yocto Project technical experts and developers. Held in conjunction with the Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE), its primary aim is to show developers how to create custom-build Linux distributions for embedded devices by using layers and recipes designed to resolve incompatibilities between different configurations.

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 Developer Day will provide you with a strong base of knowledge around the Yocto Project developer tools.
