I am extremely grateful for all of the people who showed up to hear my OpenEmbedded talk this evening at Roots. Michael Dexter noted that we had one of the best turnouts for a PLUG Advanced Topics meeting in a long time.

Here are the slides from the presentation. Unfortunately a lot of the good, interactive stuff happened during the live demo portion of the talk, but the slides do give a good overview of what the rest of the talk was about.

Enjoy!

Next week I’ll be giving a presentation on OpenEmbedded at the Portland Linux User Group’s Advanced Topics meeting:

Getting started in embedded Linux development can be intimidating. Every hardware device vendor seems to have its own embedded Linux distribution and way of developing for it. OpenEmbedded (OE) is a framework for creating highly customizable embedded Linux distributions. It provides a well-designed build system and cross-compilation environment to developers, and a robust package management system for setting up and maintaining your embedded Linux system.

Find out why OpenEmbedded is taking the embedded world by storm and improving the lives of embedded Linux developers.

Feel free to join us at Roots Organic Brewing, 1520 SE 7th Ave in Portland, at 7pm on Wednesday, Feb. 17. We meet in a room toward the back of the building. I’ve noticed the acoustics of the place are pretty poor, so I’ll be borrowing a sound system to help improve the presentation.
