Hi Trever et al:
> If I were writing a book about Yocto/OE, This is a project I am currently working on, a book about the Yocto Project. The goal is to enable readers to do practical projects with YP. As the subject matter for the project described in the book I have chosen a home automation project. Reason being, it interests me personally and it uses different devices such as a UI-less controller, remotes with touch screens etc. I have gotten a lot of feedback from the YP training class I have developed and been teaching for the Linux Foundation. I am putting this out here to solicit more feedback from the community on what you think a book on YP should include. For instance as an advanced topic I included a chapter on how to run YP on AWS EC2 and I will be adding Autobuilder to it too. > in the first chapter I would > have the readers build their own filesystem/kernel from scratch (I > can't decide if I would also have them build their own cross-compiler > from scratch or if I'd cheat and let them use crosstool-NG). I thought about that too but I found it distracting. It's like "let me show you the hard way with crosstool-ng and buildroot and then I show you a better way with YP." What I am doing though is an intro into Bitbake: how to use just Bitbake to build something. That proved valuable during the training classes. It's like a HelloWorld (and I published that before on this mailing list) introducing the concepts of Bitbake with it's layers, recipes, syntax etc. Cheers, Rudi
