Overview

This page provide’s an overview of Caleb Provost’s contribution to the AESD Final Project

Video Outline

• Setup of build environment
• Modifying &/or adding to the yocto image

Challenges

My most difficult challenge when implementing this project were:

• Differences in adding a layer to an existing yocto-distro compared to creating one’s own
• Building a distributable build environment which allows for team uniformity
• Debugging existing build tools
• Debugging Yocto image packaging
• Build system hyper-virtualization conflicts

Lessons Learned

The most important topics I learned from this project were:

• Have clear and defined project definition which solidifies set work for each individual
• Containerization of a virtual build environment via Docker
• Debugging dependency issues
• Its always better to use an actual build environment compared to a virtualized one
