There are many tools and utilities provided with Poky that hide in plain sight!
All too often we can sit at the keyboard pulling our hair out when the tool to help is right there begging to be used.
It is easy to forget about many of the great tools that are available to make life easier.
This is taking a look at some of the other utilities provided with a Yocto Project that often get forgotten or overlooked. e.g.
- Finding recipe variables
- What has been installed and from where
- Dependencies - How did that package get in my build?
- How long did that thing take to build?
I have been a Unix and Linux consultant for over 30 years, starting out life with the large servers for the finance and aviation industries. The systems I worked on became smaller and smaller until about 15 years ago I ended up in the world of Embedded Linux, creating smart traffic systems.
Since then, I have stayed with Embedded Linux creating solutions for a variety of industries including medical and automotive.
I also share my experiences by teaching some of the Embedded Linux courses with Feabhas and regularly partake in the DevHeads discord server.
