Root Commit releases free training materials on OpenEmbedded and Yocto using the BeaglePlay SBC

Michael Opdenacker, Founder of Root Commit, has published free and open-source training materials on OpenEmbedded and Yocto using the BeaglePlay SBC powered by a Texas Instruments AM625 processor. If the name rings a bell, it’s because Michael was the founder of Bootlin (previously Free Electrons) before selling the company to employees in 2021. He’s now started a new company called Root Commit, where he continues providing Embedded Linux training and development services. He’s kept the tradition of releasing free training materials, with the latest course being related to Yocto development on the BeaglePlay board. You’ll find resources on the Root Commit website with three files, including 220 pages of lectures, 18 practical labs for the BeaglePlay board and QEMU, and source code/patchsets released under a Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license. The course includes an introduction to the Yocto Project 5.0 and Embedded Linux, a Getting Started guide explaining how to […]
