Embedded Linux isn't like "normal" Linux, which is available in tidy little distros where someone else makes all the tough decisions about what gets included. In the embedded world, the developer decides everything from the system content to the method for building that
content into a cohesive package, and very often that same developer also makes decisions about the hardware. This is one busy developer. So in that context, the question of "which embedded Linux is best?" takes on many facets. Which kernel, which packages, and which drivers? Which build system is best, and under which circumstances? Should I start with Buildroot, use a pre-designed solution like Android, follow emerging standards like the Yocto Project, or just DIY - which even some large corporations do? This panel brings together a team of four seasoned embedded engineers to discuss how they make decisions and solve problems.

Panelists:
DIY: Tim Bird
Android: Karim Yaghmour
Buildroot: Thomas Petazzoni
Yocto Project: Ross Burton
