Designing a Distro from Scratch Using OpenEmbedded - Part 2

Explore the intricacies of designing a general-purpose Linux distribution from scratch using OpenEmbedded in this 40-minute conference talk by Koen Kooi from Linaro. Delve into the distribution configuration process, building upon the foundation laid in a previous presentation at ELC 2016. Discover both obvious and lesser-known customization options available in OpenEmbedded, including init system selection, C library choices, package manager configuration, static linking enforcement, /usr directory management, and GPLv3 software restrictions. Compare various OpenEmbedded-derived distributions to understand their value-added differentiations and default settings. Gain insights from Koen Kooi, the lead developer of the Angstrom distribution and a core contributor to the OpenEmbedded project, as he shares his expertise in Linux distribution development.
