Here is my problem: We are beginning a new project, an have decided to use the Omap3530 EVM board to begin development on. We do not know if we will go to market with the OMAP or some other processor at this time. Seems like the entire Omap Open Source Community has jumped to using OpenEmbedded with no consideration for how well it works. I find several documents that give hearsay comments that it might be slow, but no metrics to show what they mean. I have seen that it seems to be around 2.5 to 4 times slower that buildroot, and even worse running on a VM, but due to my lack of experience with OE, it could be a configuration error on my part. I am working with the Arago group on that. Does anyone have a board configuration for the Omap3503 EVM for buildroot? It would help a lot if I could show my management a working build really quickly. I need the target/device files and Omap patches in a working build. I am not being given any time to work on this because Arago "works".
