"OpenEmbedded is Debian-based" - It isn't, the distros built with it *might* be. "Quality Assurance is achieved through automated sanity tests at build time and runtime -- using the Qemu emulator." - We don't use qemu for that, but insane.bbclass and testlab.bbclass. "GCC Toolchains for a variety of target architectures like arm, mips, ppc, i386, including lots of variants and flavours" - Mention avr32 there. "Flashable Images integrate a package management system" - Mention .ipk and .deb there (how's .rpm nowadays?). "Examples include award-winning distributions like OpenZaurus, Ångström, Familiar Linux, OpenSIMpad, OpenDreambox, OpenSlug, and OpenMoko. " - At least OZ, familiar and OS are dead, so better mention them after Angstrom, SlugOs, OpenDreambox and OpenMoko. One point I'm missing is "customization", be it CFLAGS or shlib renaming, it is one of the main features of OE. Apart from those small points it's looking pretty good. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHuFJ+MkyGM64RGpERAl7UAJ47l+hD1Ger8l51o/7VKZvzoz7PYwCfdyqK GjMbZM+0N1FlVWvuGqSQ7Fc= =iolo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
