The Yocto Project is an open source, hardware-agnostic set of tools and standards for building custom embedded Linux distributions. It’s widely used to create repeatable, maintainable Linux platforms across many CPU architectures and boards—without single vendor lock-in.

Beyond building images, it supports reproducible, auditable builds, strong release and update practices, and tooling that helps teams manage security and open source compliance (e.g., tracking software components and licenses) to reduce product risk and speed delivery.
