I am Worik Stanton, from Dunedin New Zealand. I am new to Yocto, and
to this list, with many decades experience programming computers.
Welcome to our community!
My question is about what are the best resources for learning how to
adapt and maintain a Yocto system I am responsible for.
I have recently become responsible for a collection of Yocto "builds"
(I am unsure how I should describe them) that I must learn how to
maintain, adapt, and extend. Adapt and extend to new hardware and to
new software that we are writing.
The author of the system is available only sporadically and is cleary
moving to greener pastures and is unable to offer much help.
I have the "Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project" and it is
helpful. However the systems I am working with are, I fear, quite
idiosyncratic and highly developed.
The example of the sort of problem I have faced and solved is I
needed "lsblk" in my build. I found that by adding the name of the
Debian package to a variable IMAGE_INSTALL "IMAGE_INSTALL +=
util_linux" essentially, places "lsblk" in the root file system.
I have no idea why I used the name of a Debian package!
That's just the name of the package, which happens to be the same name
as in Debian, that's all :-)
I do not feel ready to pester you folks with queries until I have done
more reading and have moved along the learning curve. I am hoping
for some meta advice about where I can look for guidance for problems
like that.
Happy to help too when we can!
I guess you also found the Yocto and BitBake manuals:

Michael.
