Embedded systems have become the foundation of many technological innovations across industries, from automotive to consumer electronics and beyond. As these systems evolve, so too do the challenges faced by developers and engineers. The demands for flexibility, customizability, and scalability have never been greater. This is where the Yocto Project—a framework for creating custom Linux distributions—comes into play. In this conference, we’ll explore two critical areas: (1) creating custom Linux distributions with Yocto, and (2) the strategies and challenges involved in scaling Yocto-based solutions across large production environments.
