Using Buildroot for real projects ? on Wednesday last week at the Embedded Linux Conference Europe. The room was crowded with 50+ people, a pretty good audience compared to many other technical talks I've seen during the conference. Covering the 40+ slides consumed almost the entire time slot, so there was only time left for a few questions at the end. Generally speaking, I had the feeling that there is definitely an interest in Buildroot, as an alternative to bigger things like OE or Yocto. For example, I went to the Yocto Bird-of-a-Feather session, and the first 20 minutes of the session was spent answering questions of the audience about how Yocto compares to Buildroot, what are the relative advantages/drawbacks, etc. The final version of the slides are available at: http://elinux.org/images/2/2a/Using-buildroot-real-project.pdf I intend to contribute some of those elements to the official documentation. I also would like to thank all the persons who reviewed my slides and maybe very useful comments. This definitely helped in making the talk better. For those interested, there is a picture of myself giving the talk with the beautiful Buildroot t-shirt (I wish I had a yellow helmet to give the talk): http://www.flickr.com/photos/13825348 at N03/6303645373/in/photostream The video of the talk (as well as the video of all ELCE talks) is currently being encoded. I hope to have everything online by the end of the week, or at worst early next week. I will send an e-mail when the video is available. The Buildroot Developer Day report is being reviewed by Peter currently, I hope to be able to send it at worst tomorrow.
