Recipes and configurations are the building blocks of Yocto distributions and Bitbake is the working machine that takes these blocks and assembles them. Let's explore the role Bitbake has to fulfil to execute the Yocto Project workflow and build your custom Linux distribution.
What does Bitbake do, what are Bitbake's job responsibilities, and how does Bitbake achieve what it does?
Keeping the basics in mind can improve the work experience a lot since it will help avoid working against a black box.
In this talk we take a look at what we feed into Bitbake's generic task execution engine, and explore together the way source-code takes when it gets transformed into packages and binaries for your Yocto Linux distribution.
