Other advantages are that the build is configurable with config files, so it’s easily reproducible with a few command lines, and it might turn out to be useful to learn more about the Yocto Project as many boards and SoC are now making use of the framework, including Freescale i.MX6 (Wandboard, Olinuxino-imx233, Sabrelite, etc…), the Beagleboard, and Minnowboard to name a few. So today, I’ll explain how to create a smaller (and custom) image using the Yocto Project, a platform that let you build an embedded Linux distribution matching exactly your project’s requirements. The problem is that it’s not actually that small as once it is uncompressed the rootfs is still a massive 414 MB. ![]() The compressed image is 84MB, and the good thing about it is that you can just use apt-get to install packages. Last year, I wrote instructions and provided a download link about a minimal image for Raspberry Pi based on Raspbian.
