Hello,
I'm looking to evaluate the general purpose/utility of a custom build Yocto embedded OS. I'm trying to get my head around the benefits of using such an OS. I'm sure it's on case by case basis so let me provide my background and requirements. Background/requirements Currently using Debian OS on my prototype build based on a Beaglebone green wireless. Custom software is constructed in java. System utilizes 9 axis accelerometer, vibration sensor, Bluetooth, WiFi, LTE-M, GNSS, power management (through BB I2c and GPIO channels) It runs on a battery and solar. Power usage is important. Standby is used and still needs to listen for vibration sensor, Bluetooth and LTE-m cellular events. Only constrained by power usage and data usage. Processor or memory usage are unconstrained except for in relation to power usage. Minimizing data usage if an OS update is needed would be an advantage. No audio , video, USB or GUI is used. So would there be a significant benefit seen by using a custom Yocto build or would a GUIless version of Debian be just as effective? Also considering Buildroot if that would be just as effective and simpler to execute. If anyone has any other thoughts or concerns I would love to discuss. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Andrew Rudd President, Aktyon 352-256-8086 <mailto:andrew.r...@aktyon.com> andrew.r...@aktyon.com
