Building for Heterogeneous Systems - Challenges and Solutions

Explore the challenges and solutions for building heterogeneous systems in embedded products during this 26-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Delve into the complexities of using different operating systems on various architectures within a single device for improved performance. Examine the difficulties arising from diverse build-time and runtime dependencies, including different C libraries and developer workflows. Learn how Bitbake's multiconfig feature and multiconfig dependencies can address these challenges, while also discussing the remaining issues in emulating non-Linux systems and configuring multiconfig builds. Discover the importance of unifying developer workflows across operating systems and enhancing the usability of features like multiconfig to streamline product development for heterogeneous systems.
