Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded System Development training

Learn how to build and run embedded Linux systems with the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded.

About this event

An online seminar corresponding to Bootlin's Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded development training course, described with full details on https://bootlin.com/training/yocto/. It is delivered over 4 half-days of 4 hours each.

The sessions will alternate between lectures and live demonstrations made by the trainer on real hardware. The live demonstrations will be made using the ARM-based STMicroelectronics STM32MP157D-DK1 platform. Even though this particular platform is used for the live demonstrations, the course remains perfectly useful and valid regardless of the specific hardware platform used in your projects.

Note: the first session starts 15 minutes earlier in order to have enough time for everyone to test the audio/video setup and address any issue.

Note: Please make sure to reserve your time for the extra session. Sometimes the trainer will need some extra time to complete the whole training program and you may miss important parts of the training if you are not available.

Please be aware that this is scheduled to align with U.S. time zones, meaning it will occur outside standard working hours for European participants. Therefore, we cannot propose it at our standard rates; instead we're offering this session at a discounted rate of €1049, with the regular rate set at €1149.

Hardware requirements for the course

Besides a computer, an audio headset and a good Internet connection, there are no special requirements to attend this course: the practical labs are performed as live demonstrations by the trainer.

However, if you are interested in reproducing the practical labs by yourself, during the time between the sessions, you can purchase the following hardware items:

• STM32MP1 Discovery Kit 1, see ST web site to purchase from various distributors. Note that if the 157D variant is not avaiable, the older 157A variant will also work fine.
• USB-C cable for the power supply
• USB-A to micro B cable for the serial console
• Wii Nunchuk with UEXT connector available from Olimex.
• 4 breadboard wires with male endings such as the ones available from Olimex.
• microSD card of minimum 8 GB capacity

Please note that if you want to reproduce the practical labs by yourself, you need to schedule additional time, outside of the session hours. You will also need a computer with a native installation of Ubuntu 22.04 (no virtual machine).

Again: having this hardware is NOT mandatory to follow the course. Many course participants follow our courses without having the corresponding hardware, and the course is very useful even without the hardware.
