Hello,
As planned, I gave the talk ? 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):

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.
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
First of all, thanks for this mail. It's definitely interesting for
those who weren't there.

It's nice to hear about this interest in Buildroot.
Was there anything in particular that came out of the Yocto vs.
Buildroot discussion? Things that are seen as a drawback of buildroot
that we could improve without sacrificing the design goals? Features
that are found lacking?

I think that would definitely be useful. As several people indicated,
your write-up of some best practices is very interesting for project
developers.

I would have loved the yellow helmet as well :-D

Looking forward to the video and BDD report...
Thanks again for this talk, I think it was a great idea.
Best regards,

You'll be able to watch the video. But basically, the Yocto people were
putting the emphasis on Yocto being a distribution builder, i.e it
builds a set of packages and not just a root filesystem image. But
interestingly, in the room, one of the person said that for his
embedded Linux projects, which are deeply embedded ones (such as
washing machines, or other industrial stuff), packaging is completely
useless and he just wants something that generates a root filesystem
image.

Ok, I'll try to work on that. I'm pretty busy until end of November due
to the organization of a free software event in France, but after that,
my free time will again be dedicated to Buildroot stuff.

Idea to keep for a future talk I guess :)
