THE LINUX FOUNDATION PROJECTS

The Yocto Project

It’s not an embedded Linux distribution,
it creates a custom one for you.

Current ReleaseTechnical StatusDocumentation

The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems regardless of the hardware architecture.

The project provides a flexible set of tools and a space where embedded developers worldwide can share technologies, software stacks, configurations, and best practices that can be used to create tailored Linux images for embedded and IOT devices, or anywhere a customized Linux OS is needed.
