- bayindirh 2y agoYocto is also used by Lenovo to build their software appliances like XClarity Administrator. Also it’s very famous and loved in embedded software circles.
- xyproto 2y agoYocto is also hated for its unnessesary complexity in embedded software circles.
- deng 2y agoWell, "loved" is not the word I would use. It's an improvement over the chaos before, where everyone used some other bespoke tool to build their BSPs. Yocto at least is some kind of standard now, but not a particularly good one (granted, it's a really difficult problem to solve). I don't know anyone actually enjoying working with Yocto.
- tombl 2y agoThe problem with nix is that compiling a system uses lots of memory, but when deployed there's little overhead. Like you would with Yocto, I just build my systems on a proper host then remotely deploy them.
