I really liked this book as it's the only Yocto project book that is dedicated to one specific board. Keep in mind this book is for beginners so you will learn the fundamentals from a practical point of view using real hardware. The only con I see about this book is that there's a lack of content for how much you are paying but overall it's a great way to jump into the yocto kernel.

I've just started the book, only about 25% in, but so far I find it difficult to read due to errors in the text, and assumptions on the author's part. It seems like it was not proofread by someone of the target audience. By re-reading paragraphs you are able to tease out what the author was trying to convey, and you could argue that these inaccuracies force you to dig deeper on your own, thus instilling a deeper learning. Overall, I do not regret the purchase, but I would offer the following synopsis: "A decent set of notes related to building Linux for Beaglebone with Yocto."

I have been trying to follow this book for the last 1 month on the packt site where I am a subscriber. Hopelessly out of date - uses scripts no longer present in current poky distributions. Don't waste your time. Also very badly written. Consider this:"Patch in our Git source from the latest commit, which can be created using the following steps:1. Modify the source file/files. (MODIFY WHAT?)2. Commit these changes: git add * and git commit -m "Custom patch".3. Executing the patch as git format-patch -n HEAD^ will give you the output as 001-Custom patch.patch.4. Rename the example.patch file to print.patch.5. Add the following code to it:Yocto makes a release every 6 months. What this means is, ANY book on the topic becomes obsolete pretty fast. I also have a sneaky suspicion that the High Priests in Yocto do this on purpose to keep their consultancy dollars flowing. I first started with Chris Simmons book, abandoned it and moved to this one and I am now abandoning this as well. I do not understand why the publishers do not force the authors to update the book or at least provide some kind of a website we can use to get the corrections. A very basic example, this book uses the yocto-layer script which has been obsoleted and replaced with bitbake-layers. How much effort does it take to provide an errata page online for this update? It took me several fruitless hours of googling and then finally a message to the stackoverflow site to get an answer from a kind person who directed me to use bitbake-layers instead of yocto-layers. This book should be removed from Amazon and also Packtpub and also every other book that claims to teach you Yocto linux but falls flat on its face because the Authors like Irfan and Simmons are busy collecting consulting dollars somewhere in Europe and have no time to either answer email or work with the publisher to provide updates.
