The Yocto project is a collection of tools and templates that is used to setup a Linux distribution to be run on an embedded system.
The final goal with this project is for me to be able to know how to use Yocto to get Linux running on any given suitable custom embedded hardware.

I am currently reading the book Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project. This book seems like a promising starting point to learn Yocto.
