Who this book is for
The book is targeted at Yocto and Linux enthusiasts who want to build embedded Linux systems and maybe contribute to the community. Background knowledge should include C programming skills, experience with Linux as a development platform, basic understanding of the software development process. If you've previously read Embedded Linux Development with Yocto Project, Packt Publishing, it would be a plus as well.
Taking a look at technology trends, Linux is the next big thing. It offers access to cutting-edge open source products and more embedded systems are introduced to mankind every day. The Yocto Project is the best choice for any project that involves interaction with embedded devices due to the fact that 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.
