OpenIoT & ELC 2016

This talk will demo the most advanced and less known features provided by Toaster, the OpenEmbedded web interface, using real-world tutorials and build configuration instructions published by the open source community.

Yocto Project 2.1 will be the 6th release of the Toaster tool, which provides a graphical way of interacting with the build system used by the Yocto Project. Toaster started with the goal of making OpenEmbedded more approachable to the non-initiated, and it is an experiment in introducing user-centered design approaches to the Yocto Project.

After two and half years in the making, Toaster is no longer a baby, but more like a teenager. It can build any layer you throw at it, help you create custom image recipes, set any variables, provide licensing information, and tell you which tasks in your build used shared state. This presentation will show you how.
