I’m pretty new to OE/Yocto, but if you need me, I can also help out.

Maybe it’s appropriate for me to introduce myself. My name is Toby. I live in Linköping, Sweden and run a company called Techne Development. I do both consulting and product development, and am currently working on a project where I use Yocto to build an embedded system for a client. I’m also an iOS developer.

I have been working with Wind River Linux for a couple of years on a project, although the project was looking into changing to Yocto, but I never stayed that long in the project.
