This toolchain is about half my dayjob.
Bitbake is a meta-compiler, and the tool suite is very powerful. Just realize to this means you need to be an expert error-message debugger, and able to jump into (usually c/c++) code to address issues and flow patches upstream.
It really is gratifying when you finally kick out a working image.
