Re: [yocto] Why use Yocto?

2014-06-17 Thread Insop Song
Just add my few cents of using Yocto. Since yocto is tailored towards embedded system, normally it includes light weight (strip-down version/flavor) software and servers, such as sysklogd instead of syslogd and busybox cron instead of crond. Which is not a bad thing at all, as this make sure your

Hi Marlon, Some more points to vote for yocto: 1) ability to switch to another board easily (even with different arch) just by switching the BSP layer and optionally doing some kernel and bootloader config; 2) you can switch between package versions you want to use, plus fine-tune and patch them f

Hi everyone, I'm developing a product that will run on a custom i.MX6 board and I'm trying to decide whether to use Yocto or Ubuntu (there's a version of Ubuntu packaged for the Wandboard that will run on our board). The board will run our own custom app, and we'll modify the Linux kernel to supp
