Hi,

YOCTO :

The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture.

In general, Yocto is a builder to build bootloaders, kernel and filesystem at a time instead building separately.

Able to build with particular board configuration.

GLSDK :

GLSDK is "Generic Linux Software Development Kit" which comprises bootloaders, kernel and filesystem with apps

Thanks for the reply.

Can I understood as mentioned below.

Yocto: Can be used to build custom-Linux for different hardware architectures.
GLSDK: Can be used to build custom-Linux for TI hardware architectures.

Absolutely.

Also, TI provides pre-built binaries for TI EVM board in GLSDK package.
