YPS 2023.11 - 2023/11/29 - Luca Ceresoli - Keep your layer simple, and here's how
While working as consultants on several customer Yocto/OpenEmbedded setups we have seen all sorts of problems caused by all sorts of complicated code in their layers. We have spent a lot of time in educating them to writing clean layers, which often involved fixing their problems by removing a lot of the code they had written.
*simplest-yocto-setup* is an example OpenEmbedded setup that implements a working layer, the way we think it should be.
It contains:
machine configurations for widely available development boards
an example distro
recipes to build boot components (firmware, bootloader, kernel)
recipes for some userspace applications
an image recipe
The goal is to provide an example that Yocto/OpenEmbedded users can use as a starting point to write their own layers and live happy.
