SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Yocto Project, an open source collaborative initiative that helps developers build custom Linux-based systems, has evolved significantly over the past 12 years to meet the needs of their community. The project continues to lead build system technology with advances in build reproducibility, software license management, SBOM compliance, and reuse of binary artifacts. In an effort to support the community, Yocto Project announced the first Long Term Support (LTS) release in October 2020. Today, we are excited to announce that we are expanding the LTS release and extending the lifecycle from 2 to 4 years as standard.
Yocto Project's continued growth coincides with Exein's welcome as a Platinum member, joining AMD/Xilinx, Arm, AWS, BMW Group, Cisco, Comcast, Intel, Meta and WindRiver. As a member, Exein brings its expertise in embedded security across billions of devices to the core of the Yocto Project.
"Long Term Support (LTS) is one of our most requested features, it's great that the project can now commit to 4 years as the norm for all our LTS releases," said Richard Purdie, Yocto Project's chief architect and member of the Linux Foundation. "New members like Exein bring expertise and funding, allowing us to do this and more. Exein's participation will truly strengthen the security capabilities of the Yocto Project. The ability to deliver enhanced integrated security is a huge step forward in our quest for safer and more resistant systems."
"Yocto Project has been at the forefront of OS technologies for over a decade," said Andrew Wafaa, President of Yocto Project. "The adaptability and variety of the tools provided are making a clear difference to the community and we are delighted to welcome Exein as a member, as their knowledge and experience in providing customers with secure builds based on the Yocto Project have helped us will allow us to adapt to the modern landscape established by the US Digital Strategy and the EU Cyber Resilience Law."
