Yocto Tutorial - 08 Creating a Simple Hello World Yocto Recipe(FROM SCRATCH!) | With C Program

In this video, you'll learn how to create a Yocto recipe from scratch. We'll cover everything you need to know to create a recipe that includes a simple "helloworld" C program.

We'll start by writing the helloworld.c program and then create the recipe. We'll cover important recipe metadata, including the SUMMARY, LICENSE, LIC_FILES_CHKSUM, and SRC_URI. You'll learn how to calculate the md5 checksum for the license file using the `md5sum` utility.

We'll then dive into the recipe's `do_compile` and `do_install` steps, where we compile the program and tell the recipe where to put the binary file in the final image.

By the end of this video, you'll have a solid understanding of how to create a Yocto recipe that includes a simple C program.

when you compile your recipe, is your target linked to your host ?

[InternKlug]

Sir you only show how to build the recipes. can you also show how to run them on the embedded OS or inside the sbc board/embedded system
