Learn about Yocto and bitbake which uses recipes structured in various layers to build custom images, see Introduction to Yocto/OpenEmbedded.

For setting up the build environment, see Setup and Building.

Read about Layers and Recipes therein.

Use devtool to add, modify and test new recipes.

Getting Started with Yocto and C/C++ demonstrates how the build environment is setup, a x86-64 image is built and run on Qemu. Then a C++ application is added to this image.

There are essentially four ways to build an application on/for a yocto image:

• Creating a recipe for the application and adding it to the image, see Getting Started with Yocto and C/C++. This method includes a full build of the image.

• Crosscompile with a cross development SDK, see SDK.

• Use the extensible SDK. With this, you use the regular yocto workflow without the need of building a complete image first, see 

• eSDK.

• Include the toolchain in the image and build natively (not recommended), see

• Build Natively.

• meta-ost is the layer containing recipes required for various OST projects.

• meta-ost-ethercat ethercat is the layer containing recipes for EtherCAT support.

Prebuilt images for our supported platforms together with SDK and extended SDK are available at Linux Images.
