Tizen is an open source Linux based software platform for mobile, wearable and other embedded devices. In this talk you will learn how to build and port Tizen 3 to connected DIY (do it yourself) devices using industry standard tools provided by the Yocto Project and Openembedded. The presentation will also include practicals examples that demonstrate the flexibility of Yocto/OE to extend the Tizen distribution with your applications and new IoT (Internet of Things) features.

Tizen is an open source GNU/Linux based software platform for mobile, wearable and embedded devices as well as Internet of Things. Tizen:Common provides a generic development environment for Tizen 3 which key features include, Wayland, Weston, EFL UI/UX toolkit, and a web runtime for safely running standalone HTML5 apps.Yocto Project offers tools to easily expends features of Tizen:Common by creating layers for new profiles. This talk will focus the Tizen architecture and it will provide guidelines for creating and building new Tizen profiles, based on Tizen:Common, using the Yocto Project for devices with Intel or ARM processors. It will also provide information about hidden gems in Tizen on Yocto and practical examples for packaging and deploying HTML5 applications through Yocto recipes for the open source hardware development boards like Raspberry Pi 2 or HummingBoard (Freescale I.MX6 ARM SoC) or MinnowBoard Max (Intel).

Finally, since Tizen aims to become the OS of everything, we will illustrate this by extending Tizen Distro with new connectivity features provided by IoTivity library, the open source implementation of OpenInterConnect’s standard.

No previous experience with Tizen or the Yocto project is required. Attendees can expect to learn how to use Tizen on Yocto for building boot loader, Linux kernel and the Tizen software platform for various hardware architectures. Advanced techniques and practical examples for extending Tizen and adding new features will be shared.

Notice : This presentation will focus on TizenYocto while OIC’s IoTivity will be just mentioned as an example.

This presentation will reveal the process of porting Tizen:Common to open source hardware developer boards with SoC manufactured by Allwinner, Rockchip or Intel such as OLinuXino, Radxa Rock, Minnowboard. The following topics will be covered: - Building Tizen ARMv7 and x86 images from scratch, - Adapting the Linux kernel, bootloader and Tizen:Common to popular single board computers, - Do it yourself (DIY) open-source hardware Tizen tablet or laptop, - Sharing knowledge and experience of the community.

The presentation will discuss the Tizen project and the efforts for porting it to open source hardware devices with ARM or Intel processors. Guidelines for making your own DIY device to be part of an Internet of Things (IoT) based on Tizen:Common.

The following show cases will be demonstrated: - Tizen:Common for A20-OLinuXino-MICRO with Allwinner A20 SoC (Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU and Mali400-mp2 GPU) - Tizen:Common for Radxa Rock with Rockchip RK3188 SoC (Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and Mali400-mp4 GPU) - Tizen:Common for Minnowboard Max (64-bit Intel Atom CPU)

The presentation will also provide information about U-Boot, Yocto project, the Linux-Sunxi and Linux-Rockchip, Minnowboard communities.

This presentation should help and encourage more developers to experiment with Tizen and to port it to new devices. A comparison between different single board computers as well as hints how to select hardware devices that fit your needs best will be also shared.

No previous experience with the Tizen platform is required. Attendees should expect to learn what is open-source hardware, how to build the Linux kernel and Tizen platform images from scratch.

Note this lecture will be shared with Tizen community's member Leon Anavi. He is the founder and maintainer of Tizen-sunxi, Tizen-rockchip.

General presentation of the Tizen project and how to interact with it at the application or core level or even for designing your own Tizen system.

Tizen is a Linux Operating System for phones, vehicles, and other devices. Talk will give a short introduction to the project and focus on how can any developer interact with it.

Application level:

• Creating HTML5 apps with W3C + tizen APIs
• Creating native apps in C++ using Tizen Osp API
• Creating hybrid apps

Platform/distro level:

• Bug reporting / submitting patches
• Building packages
• Workflow Integration in the project

Profile / Hardware level:

• Create a new profile
• Adapt to unsupported hardware
• Rebuilding your own image
