AM3358: Yocto Linux init procedure

Tony Tang

Part Number: AM3358

It is said new YOCTO use systemd other than /lib/init as below training session. Is there a similar training about the new procedure? if there is not a ready one, would somebody give a simple summary, after executing systemd, which configuration file interpreted?

Hi Tony,

The great thing about using open source components like systemd is that we can leverage the great documentation and examples provided by the commmunity that apply to any Linux system, including one running in our Yocto distribution. There are many tutorials and examples online that should apply and be helpful. Here is the official systemd page:

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/

I found the following to be a great description of the systemd boot up process:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/bootup.html#

From these resources, I feel confident that you will get a good understanding of how our Yocto distro is booting on the target and some resource to learn even more about it.

Thank you.
