Revision Control of your Embedded Linux System
Revision Control of your Embedded Linux System Using Yocto you’ll need to juggle several repositories at once. You’ll have your ‘poky’ repository (typically you’ll get this from https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky), then you’ll have your OpenEmbedded layer (usually retrieved from https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded). In addition, you’ll also have your chip specific layers, and then you’ll probably have your own […]
