OSS + ELC EU 2026

The Yocto project is a toolkit for creating custom Linux distributions for the embedded use cases. Historically it has not provided tools and standards for setting up and replicating build configurations in a reproducible manner, leaving that to third party projects and custom scripts.

This has changed with the latest Yocto LTS release (6.0 'wrynose'), which includes a tool called bitbake-setup. This talk will give an overview of what is available and how it can be used to write a record of how to build a complete system, and to replicate that build elsewhere with that record. I will also briefly cover possible future directions for build configuration management.
