YPDD 2023 - linux-yocto: quietly providing base kernel integration support
Many Yocto Project developers end up working with a vendor kernel or
customized BSP kernel. So what's the value of the base linux-yocto
reference kernel ? Why does it exist ? How does it help the average
developer ?
This presentation will cover the types of integration and system wide
testing that is driven from the linux-yocto uprev cadence. It will
explain the kernel versions that are part of a release, and why / how
those versions are chosen. Additionally, how linux-yocto can be
extended and configured to meet different use cases will be
demonstrated.
Finally, the talk will cover common questions like: How long is
linux-yocto maintained ? What versions / variants are available ? Can
it be deployed as part of commercial / production products.
