Accelerated Porting of Linux, U-Boot and Yocto for Production Ready Emb...- Vaishnav Mohandas Achath

Accelerated Porting of Linux, U-Boot and Yocto for Production Ready Embedded Systems - Vaishnav Mohandas Achath, Texas Instruments
Embarking on the journey of bringing SPL/U-Bootc, Linux, and Yocto on a freshly minted System on Chip and a new hardware platform can be a daunting task. Based on the experience of porting multiple ARM-based SoCs to work with mainline Linux/U-Boot/Yocto and also the multiple custom hardware platform bringup experiences, We discuss strategies to get Linux, U-Boot bootloader, and Yocto-based filesystem functional and product-ready on your system in a very short time, sharing insights, practical experiences, and tools to streamline the process. While getting your system booting Linux and U-Boot quickly once the silicon/boards arrive is important, it is more important to have a clean production-ready system that can be maintained over the Long term, we also discuss best practices to ensure minimal effort long-term support for your systems as well in this session. By the end of this session, you will be equipped with the knowledge and resources to embark on your journey to bring up Linux, U-Boot, and Yocto porting adventure for your custom embedded platform whether you are a seasoned embedded developer or a Linux enthusiast ready for a challenge.
