Please do not forget Buildroot for embedded Linux. You end up rebuilding all, but its much simpler than yocto, and based on makefiles.

  Buildroot did an excellent job of converting me into a lifelong yocto advocate. Yes it's much simpler upfront, but the sheer number of subtly broken builds will slowly drive you insane, since you're not going to be patient enough to wait 30-60m for full rebuilds every time you change something. Most vendors are on yocto nowadays anyway. If you stick with buildroot you'll be doing all the work yourself.

    I second this. I worked with yocto for 8 years and my current job uses buildroot on all their projects and I'm trying to get them to convert. I'm supposed to give a company wide yocto training in october. Gonna do my best to sell it well.

    buildroot is good for board bringup to verify if the hardware design works, much more simple and quick than yocto, after that though, yocto might have advantages to make real products.
