Putting Linux into Context – Towards a reproducible example system with Linux...
summary
Project builds a reproducible example system combining Linux, Xen, and Zephyr on real hardware and a CI that daily builds images, runs OpenQA tests and publishes artifacts; it uses Yocto/ Poky and a Debian-derived industrial image, documents the full from-source build, and tracks missing pieces like proprietary GPU drivers and SBOM completeness. Hardware chosen (i.MX8, SiP platforms, QEMU fallback) mostly boots and logs in, but graphics virtualization and vendor driver availability remain blockers for full reproducibility.
