Hello everyone, I am new to the embedded space, been working with embedded for a couple of months now as well as Linux itself. After much time spent with Hob I have to say it's a awesome tool to use. However I would like it to be better than it already is, I see the potential of this interface to help newbies like myself, weather it be hobbyist or industrial use. So below is what I have found through my fiddling around with Hob.
-Some interface inconsistencies when your selecting layers, image type, distro type etc. -Image deployments (Only .hddimg and .iso can be deployed to physical media at the end (To my knowledge) of the build process. There's is a lot of FS types, but I would really like to have a steps on how to install these other FS types which documentation nor simply goggling it helps) -Branding. There are ways to go and edit files to specify how to rebrand and stuff but that requires a command line. I would like to have the simple screen where I can add branding (Boot screens, Logos, and distro names etc.). I could definitely if Hob does have a Web User interface where I can't access a command line to change parameters of the finished product. -Documentation is awesome, however from a person that has only a year and a half experience using Linux it's kinda hard reading it sometimes. (Not really anything bad on Yocto's part. I would just like to input something that newbies can be represented in this project) I really could see Hob become a open source version of openSUSE Studio (Which it's closed source) but for embedded devices. So that's just my hopes for Hob / Yocto could become... Lastly, I would really love to help with development as well. I haven't really gotten into programming that much but I have worked with the Fedora Server Special Interest Group doing QA for Alpha and Beta release. So if anyone can put me in the right direction I can certainly help YP out. Thank you. -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
