Explore the process of creating a tiny Linux distribution using Yocto and Poky-Tiny in this informative conference talk. Learn about the latest changes to Poky-Tiny, a reference distribution designed for resource-constrained embedded devices. Discover how to build and customize your own tiny Linux distribution using DISTRO layers. Analyze the size optimization techniques for the kernel and rootfs, and examine the new core-image-tiny-initramfs for faster boot times. Compare different image sizes and gain insights into efficient embedded Linux development. Benefit from the expertise of Alejandro Hernandez, an Embedded Software Engineer at Xilinx and active Yocto Project developer, as he shares his knowledge on building compact, fully functional Linux operating systems for embedded devices.
