One of the things that came out of the discussion "Why is embedded still hard" at the OEDAM was the need to document development workflow best practices, particularly when it comes to application development.
It was agreed that the first step should be collecting existing practices to understand what people are currently doing and what works well in which circumstances. If you are working (or have worked) with embedded application developers, you can help with this. You have a couple of sharing options: 1) You can talk to me (a 45-minute conversation should do). I can then document our conversation, and once you are happy with the outcome, I can share it with the list. If you prefer this way, send me an email off list or ping me in IRC (belen) 2) You can write it down in an email to the mailing list. You can use the examples Richard Purdie shared as a starting point http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2014-May/092079.h tml Or you can answer some / all of the following questions: * Can you tell me a little bit about the context in which you are using the Yocto Project? Is it for specific products? Is it across the whole company? * How many people are using Yocto Project? How are they organised? How are they split in terms of their skill set? What are their responsibilities? * How do the different skill sets interact? Are there specific deliverables they must hand over to each other, things like development images, or application recipes? * Can you describe the development process for custom applications? What are they main steps in the process? * Do you use the Yocto Project for the full development process, or only for certain steps in it? * Are there any steps in the process that are particularly problematic? Can you describe why? * What do you miss to assist you in those steps? Tools? Documentation? Best practices? Something else? * Have you looked at the Yocto Project ADT/SDK? Do you find it useful and if not, what would you consider its limitations? * Have you looked at the Yocto Project Eclipse plugin? Do you find it useful and if not, what would you consider its limitations? * If you could ask 3 wishes from the Yocto Project, what would they be? The document attached to this Bugzilla feature https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6225 might also help somehow. Looking forward to all the answers.
