Yocto Project

The Yocto Project is an open-source initiative that provides tools and frameworks for creating custom Linux-based operating systems tailored to specific hardware devices. It enables developers to build, customize, and maintain Linux distributions efficiently, often for embedded systems like IoT devices, automobiles, or industrial equipment. By using Yocto, companies can develop optimized, lightweight Linux images that meet their exact requirements, ensuring better performance, security, and flexibility. Essentially, it acts as a construction kit for building specialized Linux systems from reusable components, streamlining development and deployment processes.
