OpenEmbedded

OpenEmbedded / Yocto Project

• The most versatile and powerful embedded Linux build system
  • A collection of recipes (.bb files)
  • A tool that processes the recipes: bitbake
• Integrates 2000+ application and libraries, is highly configurable, can generate binary packages to make the system customizable, supports multiple versions/variants of the same package, no need for full rebuild when the configuration is changed.
• Configuration takes place by editing various configuration files
• Good for larger embedded Linux systems, or people looking for more configurability and extensibility
• Drawbacks: very steep learning curve, very long first build.
