  • Welcome Lineo Solutions to the Yocto Project

    Submitted by jefro on

    Lineo Solutions has joined the Yocto Project as a silver member. We welcome them heartily - and indeed it is a welcome back, as Lineo was involved with the OpenEmbedded project way back in the early 2000s, before it even became OpenEmbedded! Lineo was involved in the original project to port Linux to the Sharp Zaurus. This project eventually grew and become OpenEmbedded.

Internal Projects

The Yocto Project is composed of many different internal projects. Most of these are maintained by the Yocto Project's maintainers. Some of these, like BitBake and OpenEmbedded Core, are co-maintained with other projects.

One internal project, Poky, is a reference system that composes all of these internal projects together and provides a single base to test interoperability. When you download a comprehensive version of the Yocto Project, you are actually downloading Poky - inside, all of the components work together. Think of it as a base from which to start customizing your own Linux distribution.
