Description

This course is for anyone who wants to create a minimum viable product (MVP) using a Raspberry pi 4 hardware and the Yocto Project. If you have a web app already or need to figure out everything else such as: Connecting to a wifi without SSH , Shutting down or Rebooting your Pi , and Logging your activities via a web app, then this is the course for you.

We will go through two Phases. In Phase I we will set up your Yocto Build Sever in Virtual Box. After this Phase you will be able to boot from your Raspberry pi 4 and connect to it via SSH. In Phase II, we will go through 5 builds to get you from Hello World webapp to the final Web app that has the following features:

Connect to "Webapp" Adhoc Network
Setup Wifi
1. Scan WIfi
2. Connect to Wifi & Enable Wifi Auto Start
3. Configure system to remove Adhoc Settings
Reset Wifi Back to Adhoc mode
1. Remove Wifi Configurations / Auto Start
Reboot
Shutdown
View Logs
Toggle Debug Mode

Who this course is for:

Intermediate to Advance developers or hobbyist who want to create their own bespoke operating system using Yocto for Raspberry Pi 4.
Anyone who wants to show a proof of concept web app or a minimum viable product using a Raspberry Pi.
