Debian and Yocto Project Based Long-Term Maintenance Approaches for Embedded Products

Explore long-term maintenance approaches for embedded products using Debian and Yocto Project in this 31-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation. Learn about the challenges of 10+ year maintenance requirements in industrial products, including security fixes, reproducible builds, and continuous system updates. Discover how Debian's stability, long-term support, and powerful package development tools make it suitable for industrial applications. Examine the CIP Project's role in providing scalable and customizable base images and BSP layers for embedded devices. Investigate two different approaches, Deby and ISAR, which offer simple yet effective functions for customizing and maintaining Debian in embedded products. Gain insights into preferred use cases, application in product development, and relationships with other open source projects. Understand how the CIP project supports building a sustainable industrial-grade Linux distribution for long-term embedded system maintenance.
