Embedded computers have become very complex and are now called upon to solve a range of increasingly advanced problems. This added complexity means embedded systems need even more complex operating systems in order to work as required.

The Yocto Project is now the effective standard for most embedded systems around the world due to its robustness and high configuration, availability of software packages and the ability to support several hardware platforms with common mechanisms so that developers can deploy their systems with ease regardless of the machine.

Yocto Project Customization for Linux is not just another book talking about the Yocto Project, but shows how the Yocto Build system really works. Developers can easily and quickly move from the demo Yocto Project distributions that silicon vendors rely on for their development kits to their final product. This book is a practical guide teaching you everything you need to know about writing new recipes and customizing existing ones by explaining the Build System internals and how to manage them for your ongoing projects.
