Yocto is an open-source project that helps developers create a custom Linux distribution. The project provides tools, software stacks, configurations and best-practices that can be used to create Linux images for embedded devices.

This section of the documentation contains step-by-step instructions to setup the Yocto build system, build boot loaders, Linux kernel and file system for the Embedded Artists i.MX6, i.MX7, and i.MX8 based (u)COM boards.
