Yocto — this is not a distribution.
It’s a tool from which you build your Linux.
Like Lego, only for engineers.

🔧 Who needs Yocto

• Developing medical or industrial devices
• Require a 10-year support lifecycle
• Want a minimal image (15 MB)
• Working at Siemens, Bosch, or Toradex

🛠 How to build your Linux

# 1. Клонируем репозиторий
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
cd poky
source oe-init-build-env

# 2. Настраиваем
echo 'MACHINE = "raspberrypi5"' >> conf/local.conf

# 3. Собираем
bitbake core-image-minimal

The resulting image will appear in tmp/deploy/images/.
