Signed FIT Image Support for meta-oe (fitimage.bbclass)
FIT images provide a versatile way to bundle components used to boot embedded Linux systems, like the kernel, device tree, ramdisk, firmware, etc. They also support cryptographic signatures, making them ideal for verified boot setups. This blog post introduces the new fitimage.bbclass in meta-oe as an alternative to oe-core's kernel-fitimage.bbclass, with a clear focus on enhancing both versatility and signing support.
Bringing Barebox into OE-Core (Yocto)
This blog post chronicles the multi-year journey to get Barebox accepted into OE-Core—from the early attempts to the eventual success in October 2024. Along the way, we’ll explore the technical hurdles we faced, the community discussions that shaped the process, and the improvements we added to both OE and Barebox.
Tutorial: Start With RAUC Bundle Encryption Using meta-rauc
In its current master branch, RAUC now supports encrypted Bundles. This tutorial will introduce you to the basics of using encryption in RAUC and show how to use it in a simplified Yocto setup with the meta-rauc Layer.
Tutorial: Evaluating RAUC on QEMU - A Quick Setup With Yocto
RAUC is an update framework for safely deploying verified updates on your embedded Linux devices. It ensures atomicity of the update process to protect from sudden power outages, hardware failures, etc. So, why would one like to run RAUC on an emulated platform?
Yocto Project Virtual Summit 2021
On Tuesday, 25th and Wednesday, 26th, the 3rd edition of the Yocto Project Virtual Summit took place on the internet. With a fair ticket price of 40$ Pengutronix developers Jan Lübbe and Enrico Jörns got a 2-day long wild ride through the latest features, workflows and experiences with the Yocto Project.
Pengutronix Becomes Yocto Project Participant
Not at least since the Yocto project cannot be thought away from the embedded world, Pengutronix successfully also uses OpenEmbedded next to PTXdist as a distribution build tool in various projects for several years.
