Getting started with Yocto Project - Chris Simmons - NDC TechTown 2022

Great content. My favorite part was how the content was presented. Not only are the slides shown, but the camera is doing a good job of tracking the presenter. So regardless of what I need to focus on, I can get what I need. This sounds obvious, but it's not. I cannot tell you how many presentations I've watched where the presenter says "study this piece of code for a few minutes" and the cameraman spends 2 minutes watching the presenter drink water (whereas I spend those two minutes insulting the cameraman's parentage). Well done!

Amazing introduction, thank you very much !

The comment regarding BSP kernels is incorrect. One of the great things about Yocto is that you can override pretty much anything. That includes `PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/linux`, `PREFERRED_VERSION_virtual/linux` and the BSP kernel recipe's `DEFAULT_PREFERENCE`. Using various combinations of these you can select any kernel you want. You will of course want to select a kernel that supports your board.
Great talk otherwise!

I recommend this book to understand more deeply this great presentation "Embedded Linux development using Yocto project cookbook. Second edition".

Really liked it

Mr. Simmonds, can you also make Advanced Yocto videos instead of always Introduction videos (thanks for that btw)

Gosh ! This is extremely dry. I know I will not follow this one as a step-by-step guide ever.

Your Embedded Linux lecture and this lecture helped me immensely understand the development enviroment for Cortex-A MPUs.

I've used buildroot in the past (because I was working with OpenWRT) but the people at my old job were always on about Yokto, Poke-ey (they used the wrong pronunciation) and Bit-Bake.
I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the two from somebody who's used both and doesn't have any allegiance to either. I get the feeling that Yokto is the way to go but devs love shiny things.
