What you need for this learning path

Before reading this learning path, prior knowledge of embedded Linux and Yocto would be helpful, though not mandatory. In this learning path, a number of exercises are available, and to do them, a basic understanding of the GNU/Linux environment would be useful.

The examples have been tested with an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system, but any Linux distribution supported by the Yocto Project can be used. Any piece of i.MX-based hardware can be used to follow the examples.

The versions of the main packages for the target are U-Boot 2015.07, Linux 4.1, Yocto Project 1.8 "Fido", and Buildroot 2015.08.
