We will be using 6 ereader devices initially from 2 different manufactures. One of the manufactures already uses open embedded the other is not. We are needing to explain to the other OEM why they should be uses open embedded to build the images used on the devices so that all devices are consistent and can pull from one feed source for updates. Here are a few of the requirements I have right now: Must use qt-embedded 4.6.x Would be nice if it can uses arora-e I have a few question on what I should be doing. Should I create my own distribution based on angstrom or just create and image with preferred-versions for the ereaders and used angstrom as the distro? What suggestions does anyone have on working with the OEM that does not uses OE already to help them see why using OE would be beneficial to them? I find information on why developers and distribution maintainers should uses OE but not much information on how an OEM could create machine.conf to be used with OE or use OE. I may just have not found the correct presentation or blog that has the information I am looking for. Thanks for any help you can give.
