Moving to a new hardware platform, they wanted to take the opportunity to gain ownership of the tools that are used to build their products, here <a href="https://yoctoproject.org">Yocto</a>, instead of subcontracting this part of system development as they did previously.</p> <p>Their first idea was to order our <a href="https://rootcommit.l0g.eu/training/yocto/">Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded training course</a>. However, facing project deadline pressure, they also wondered whether consulting wouldn&rsquo;t be a better choice to get their new project started in an efficient way. However, they didn&rsquo;t want to fall back to subcontracting what they want to learn. That&rsquo;s how the idea of a hybrid solution came up: consulting and training at the same time!</p>
