Building a SECO Northern Europe Yocto Linux system from source

General information about SECO Northern Europe Yocto Linux systems

SECO Northern Europe uses the Yocto Project for building embedded Linux systems for their platforms by providing a Board Support Package (BSP). The Yocto Project is led by the Linux foundation with the aim to produce tools and processes to create embedded Linux distributions. It includes a cross toolchain and a configurable build system called Bitbake.

For general information regarding the Yocto Project please refer to the official Yocto website.

A detailed documentation regarding Yocto and its build system can be found here.

Source code for SECO Northern Europe Yocto Linux images

The source code for our BSP is publicly available in our Git repository. Users can use the repository to build their own custom images with the BSP that are compatible with our devices. A detailed instruction as well as necessary tools for the image building is available in the repository.

Deploying the Linux system to the target

A SECO Northern Europe Yocto image can be installed on the system’s internal eMMC flash memory using our Flash-N-Go System. This is a small RAM-disk-based Linux which is installed on your device in parallel to the regular operating system.

We have a dedicated page about our FnG Infrastructure as well as installation guide. A more in-depth explanation of our Flash-N-Go infrastructure can be found here.
