+# Yocto FCB1010 Looper System - Implementation Guide
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Build a minimal, real-time Linux system for an audio looper pedal using Yocto Project. The system boots from initramfs only for maximum speed, includes RT kernel patches, and supports over-the-air updates via SWUpdate with A/B partitioning.
+
+**Key Requirements:**
+- x64 hardware (NUC-class)
+- Static IP: 192.168.0.50
+- SSH access with public key authentication
+- USB live installer that can dd copy to disk
+- A/B partition scheme for reliable updates
+- RT kernel with PREEMPT_RT
+- JACK audio stack
+- SWUpdate for OTA updates
+
+## Architecture Decisions
+
+**Boot Strategy:** EFI boot → initramfs-only (no rootfs mounting)
+**Network:** WiFi with static IP, credentials baked into image
+**Updates:** SWUpdate web interface + SSH API access
+**Installation:** USB boot → SSH → dd copy entire USB to target disk
+**Partition Layout:** EFI boot partition with initramfs-A.cpio.gz and initramfs-B.cpio.gz
+
+## Yocto Implementation Approach
+
+**Custom Layer Structure:**
+Create meta-looper with recipes for kernel config (RT patches), network setup (static IP + WiFi), SSH keys, audio stack (JACK), and two image types: main system (initramfs) and USB installer.
+
+**Build Configuration:**
+- MACHINE = "genericx86-64"
+- Kernel: linux-yocto with RT features
+- Minimal install, not Pokey distribution
+
+## Key Implementation Points
+
+**Kernel:** Enable PREEMPT_RT, high-res timers, and audio subsystem. Use kernel fragment files (.cfg) to configure RT options.
+
+**Networking:** Create recipes for wpa_supplicant.conf and network interfaces with static IP. Include WiFi credentials at build time.
+
+**SSH:** Recipe to install public key to root's authorized_keys during image build.
+
+**SWUpdate:** Configure for A/B updates, web interface on port 8080, and integration with systemd-boot for partition switching.
+
+**USB Installer:** Second image that boots live system with installation script. Script partitions target disk, creates EFI boot partition, and dd copies the installer image to create installed system.
+
+## Running
+The build and testing platform is built in Docker. A Compose file is used to script the separate targets:
+- docker compose run disk-image
+- docker compose run qemu-server
+- docker compose run push-update
+- docker compose run ssh-client
+
+The compose file mounts the proper directories for cache, output, ... It also forwards the proper ports for qemu.
+
+## Testing Strategy for AI Agent
+
+**QEMU Testing:** Use runqemu with network forwarding to test SSH, networking, and SWUpdate functionality. QEMU supports graphics for GUI testing and USB forwarding for hardware validation.
+
+**Build Validation:** Verify initramfs size (<200MB), boot time (<10 seconds), and RT kernel configuration. Test static IP assignment and SSH key authentication.
+
+**Update Testing:** Create test SWUpdate packages and verify A/B switching works correctly. Test both web interface and SSH-based update deployment.
+
+**Audio Validation:** Confirm JACK installation, RT scheduling capabilities with cyclictest, and audio device detection.
+
+**Installation Testing:** Boot USB installer in QEMU, SSH in, run installation script on virtual disk, then boot installed system to verify complete workflow.
+
+The implementation should focus on creating minimal, working recipes that can be tested incrementally in QEMU before hardware deployment. Each component (kernel, network, SSH, audio, updates) should be testable independently.
