Yocto project video

For your amusement:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/

Please note, the audience is non-technical people, not us :) We already 
know how to build embedded systems.

I thought the video did a good job of presenting the larger goals of the 
Yocto Project.

Yes, I like this video. Thank you for sharing it.

I did not understand the one thing though on how it is easy to choose a
commercial Linux distribution? Which one do they mean and can they
handle BitBake recipes? Or what did they mean?


Thanks,

Paul

My guess they are talking about OSVs commercial offerings. E.g. MontaVista 
Linux 6, which is based on OE...

"they" want a clear transition from a build system and recipe set to a commercially supported Eco system of OSVs.

They being semiconductor manufacturers, OSVs, product integrators, etc.... Historically the problem has been that someone will start a prototype with a semiconductor (or open source) system.. They then decide to build a device and look for commercial support... At which point they generally have to start over once they choose their support partner.

With Yocto, if you start with the open source version and layers, you can then have a clear known path to a commercial service contract with a more clear expectation of what can or can not be reused.

That's the theory, we hope we can make it a reality.
