Our Verdict

Embedded Linux using Yocto offers an in-depth look at the Yocto Project, suitable for both beginners and those with foundational knowledge of Linux systems. The course covers essential concepts and practical applications while providing hands-on experience building images for different platforms. However, subpar audio quality and the need to purchase separate content for recipe writing and BitBake might detract from some learners' overall experience.
