The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project whose focus is developers of embedded Linux systems. Among other things, the Yocto Project uses a build host based on the OpenEmbedded (OE) project, which uses the BitBake tool, to construct complete Linux images. The BitBake and OE components combine together to form a reference build host, historically known as Poky
Below step mentions the commands required to install necessary packages, so you can compile yocto on Ubuntu.
Prerequisite –
- Build Host A build host with a minimum of 50 Gbytes of free disk space that is running a ubuntu Linux distribution.
