Building an IoT-class Device
summary
Shows a concrete path: boots a MinnowBoard with Debian on an SD card, uses a USB webcam and a simple streaming tool to create an IP camera, and forwards the stream off-box over an SSH tunnel so no extra firewall holes are opened. Recommends mainline kernels, duplicating base SD images for fast iteration, preferring USB sensors for driver stability, and warns that full-image reflashes or OSTree/Snappy-style updates trade simplicity for robustness. The camera prototype works but double encoding is suboptimal.
