Hello everyone - working on a presentation about Crowdfunding. Series context has to do with Arduino

Hello everyone - working on a presentation about Crowdfunding. Series context has to do with Arduino, but any funded project might be interesting. Is there anyone on here that has done a successful project on one of these platforms and would like to offer some tips? Or anyone you might recommend?

I need a start actually. In the form of internships /voluntary job or entry level positions. Couldn’t get a chance to do internships during the course because I had no work permit then.

abhishek awasthi•1/17/24, 3:56 AM

... yocto is a bit more complicated when compared to builroot .. .. so like if one would start their journey ...i would suggest to start from buildroot environment ... understanding the basics of build process ... majour things are menuconfig there so can start fast and get their hands dirty ... where yocto would require a good learning curve in comparison ... at the end if you have a specific application and have selected the soc for it ..then check upon the vendor build documentation to understand the depth of details provided ...sometime they will tell you the preferred build environment ...and following that would be a good option... if you consider the build time ... buildroot might give you quicker results ... but it may start taking time upon further devlopements ...where as yocto would take a good amounts of time for initial builds but then for further build the build time reduces significantly ...
for the beginning explore buildroot ... once you feel comfortable with the environment ..you may shift to yocto ...

techielew•1/17/24, 4:17 AM

Is it just that buildroot is smaller? More compact, meaning shorter/less time to compile?

abhishek awasthi•1/17/24, 4:27 AM

its more specific to the board .. so lets say you have build for a board using buildroot and not you want to build the same for another board .. it would again take all the resources where as in a yocto project its more portable .. you can switch easily

abhishek awasthi•1/17/24, 4:29 AM

and yes buildroot is way smaller in comparison to yocto .. yocto can go around 50 gigs easily ..

techielew•1/17/24, 4:43 AM

Thanks, I'm assuming you've implemented both in commercial projects, correct?

The general sentiment I've been getting from those I talk to is buildroot is common for more resource-constrained consumer electronics-type devices and Yocto is for bigger, more feature rich platforms.

Would be interested to hear from you or anyone else who has experience with either
