WendyOS Contributing

This skill covers internal development and contribution to WendyOS itself, including building OS images, understanding agent architecture, and running E2E tests.

Overview

WendyOS is an Embedded Linux operating system for edge computing built with Yocto. It supports:

• NVIDIA Jetson devices (production with OTA updates)
• Raspberry Pi 4/5 (edge devices)
• ARM64 VMs (development)

Agent Architecture

The wendy-agent is a container daemon (similar to dockerd/containerd):

• Manages container lifecycle via gRPC on port 50051
• Images are pushed via wendy run, not pulled from Docker Hub
• There's no docker pull equivalent - apps are deployed from source
