Getting Started with Yocto

An Interactive Terminal Tutorial

Learn embedded Linux the hands-on way. Clone layers, write kernel modules, author BitBake recipes, and cross-compile a bootable ARM image — all inside a VS Code-inspired interactive environment.

Tutorial Roadmap
  1. 1Clone 4 Yocto layers — Poky, OpenEmbedded, Freescale, NXP i.MX BSP
  2. 2Configure the build environment for aarch64 cross-compilation
  3. 3Write an out-of-tree IIO kernel module (mock ADXL345 accelerometer)
  4. 4Create a device tree overlay for platform device binding
  5. 5Build a user-space sysfs reader with systemd auto-start service
  6. 6Author BitBake recipes and assemble a bootable WIC disk image
  7. 7Verify ARM build artifacts and learn deployment to real hardware

Requires: Linux CLI · git · C basicsStack: Yocto 4.0 Kirkstone · NXP i.MX8M Mini EVK · IIO subsystem
