This is truth. I've done a lot of work bringing up custom boards with both Yocto and Buildroot and I rather like Yocto. But yeah, first project with Yocto was painful. It's rather well documented, but one really needs a good idea of what's going on to really know what you're even looking for.
That said, once you get it figured out, it's very flexible and largely logical. :)
- ahartmetz 2y agoIME, the documentation is kinda useless when the going gets tough. But the code is surprisingly easy to follow.
- eschneider 2y agoThe docs are good in the "I think there should be a way to do X" and if you have a good sense of how Yocto is organized, you'll know where to check if X exists. That's...not a trivial thing.
- ahartmetz 2y agoTrue. For the most part, the documentation tells you what you can do in general terms and where (which file / variable). That is useful, but not enough to know how to do it.
