Savoir-Faire Linux training to design a Yocto system for industrial applications

In a matter of a few years, Yocto has become the leading Linux build system for industrial operating systems. This training course aims to develop the necessary skills you will need to work with this tool. Through this training, you will learn about how to install and operate an Yocto based embedded system. It captures both the theory and practice of using Yocto to build a custom Linux system. The participants learn about a mix of theory and its application and vice-e-versa. The variety of exercises makes sure they understand the symbiotic link between the Linux system and the Yocto build system. By the end of the program, the trainees have all the necessary toolkits and know-how in order to make the architectural design decisions, add additional services as well as making appropriate customization.
