- astrobe_ 2y agoSo now the question is, why didn't it get traction in over a decade? Not excluding the possibility of an "hidden gem" here, and people in embedded tend to be conservative, but to be honest "professional" and "easy" in the same sentence looks a bit suspicious to me.
- chme 2y agoI suspect those reasons: - It couldn't find a feature-gap between buildroot and OE/YP in order to differentiate itself and attract new developers - It is more or less a one-vendor project
- grodriguez100 2y agoIt is similar to buildroot, but more powerful. We have been using it for 10+ years with very good results. Why no traction? Not sure about that. Perhaps it was difficult to communicate the benefits in an area where buildroot was already well established.
