Yocto 🆚 Ubuntu Core: making the right choice for embedded systems #Linux is the top operating system for #IoT and embedded devices, but the decision between Yocto and Ubuntu Core isn’t always straightforward. On one hand, Yocto offers full customization and flexibility, making it a strong choice for experimentation, prototyping, and proof of concepts. On the other hand, Ubuntu Core provides built-in security, long term support, and reliable over-the-air updates - key requirements for enterprise

In this episode, Shawn creates another custom Linux image using the Yocto Project (instead of Buildroot).

These layers consist of a number of metadata (files that contain information used to build the distribution) that must be read during the build process. #ShawnHymel #Linux #Buildroot #OpenWRT #Yocto
