Debian in the Embedded World

In the embedded product development, developers carefully need to select the base system and development tools from various Linux distributions and open source software. Selecting appropriate distro and tools is necessary for efficient product development. Especially in the industrial world, 10+ years maintenance is required, including security fixes, reproducible builds, and continuous system updates. Debian has been applied to industrial products because of its affinity with the demands in such developments.

Kazuhiro will introduce several approaches for embedded product development, which are based on Debian sources, binaries, and tools. He also shows the basic usage and preferred use cases of each approach, including the relations between important features in Debian.
