Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
The article presents 'simplest-yocto-setup' - a GitHub repository that provides a minimal, realistic working example of a Yocto/OpenEmbedded setup for embedded Linux development. Created by Bootlin based on their experience with customer projects, it demonstrates how to use Yocto/OE as an embedded Linux build system without unnecessary complications. The project aims to address common problems caused by overly complex layers in Yocto setups by providing clean, simplified examples that remove unnecessary code and demonstrate best practices.
