BoF: The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project build complete Linux distributions for embedded devices, publish releases every six months, and run an automated upgrade robot that posts ~70 emails twice a month when it finds upstream updates. Long-term support is expanding from two to an experimental four-year LTS for Dunfell/Kirkstone. Core maintenance is concentrated—four people make 50% of core changes—so contributors are needed. Practical advice: de‑vendor libraries, use sstate/shared state, NVMe + ~12 cores + 64 GB RAM to cut build time.
