summary

A decade of fielded EOD robots uses Embedded Linux with Yocto Project and occasional Buildroot or Ubuntu bases, supported by GitLab/Buildbot CI that consumes terabytes and sometimes corrupts caches. Each vehicle runs multiple Linux kernels (mainboard, cameras, radios), OTA handled by SWUpdate and Mender, and microcontrollers keep hard real‑time. Products sell about ~100 robots/year, must survive -30°C and saltwater, and require end‑to‑end latency under 150 ms, forcing kernel pinning and occasional rollbacks.
