Preface

Considering the current technology trend, Linux is the next big thing. Linux has consistently released cutting-edge open source products, and embedded systems have been added to the technological portfolio of mankind.

The Yocto Project is in an optimal position to be the choice for your projects; it provides a rich set of tools to help you to use most of your energy and resources in your product development, instead of reinventing the wheel.

The usual tasks and requirements for embedded Linux-based products and development teams were the guidelines for this book's conception. Written by active community members with a practical and straightforward approach, it is a stepping stone for both your learning curve and your product's project.
