I heart the Yocto Project
summary
Explains why Yocto wins for reproducible embedded builds by naming concrete pieces: bitbake as the build engine, OpenEmbedded recipes and meta layers for reusable composition, and Poky as the reference distro. Describes a working remote debug workflow: build host holds a remote debug rootfs with full symbols and GDB attaches to target, which finds an intermittent QtWebEngine bug. Describes test-image CI (VMs easy, hardware needs extra SD/power instrumentation), license checksum checks that surface unexpected license changes, and annoying caching pitfalls.
