Hands-on class that demonstrates the features of devtool.
devtool is a powerful set of features that can greatly enhance package development with the Yocto Project. Be prepared to be impressed and wish you had known this tool earlier!
This class will teach users about the features available with this tool. It will then guide the users through the process of importing new packages, generating and editing recipes, testing them on a target system and also how to create new patches for existing recipes.
Last but not least, this class will be run using the latest Yocto release, Whinlatter.
