Nov 19 10:28:34 <eduardas>  hello, what is the correct way to prepopulate the /dev directory with a console node for kernel's built-in initramfs with bitbake?
Nov 19 10:28:53 <eduardas>  I've already taken a look at meta-initramfs, but the examples there do it at runtime
Nov 19 13:12:13 <hrw> https://www.cnx-software.com/2020/11/18/elbe-is-a-simpler-alternative-to-yocto-openembedded-and-buildroot/ - why I have strong dejavu feel?

Nov 19 13:13:47 <LetoThe2nd> hrw: its the same story over and over again.
Nov 19 13:19:54 <hrw> o yes
Nov 19 13:20:27 <hrw> https://twitter.com/haerwu/status/1329413931018948612
Nov 19 13:21:01 <hrw> whenever I see new build system at fosdem I attend talk
Nov 19 13:21:23 <hrw> 'we have 245 packages!' - year later no one remember them
Nov 19 13:21:52 <hrw> and nowadays it is easy to go debian etc for 'embedded'
Nov 19 13:22:10 <hrw> as their 'embedded' has 1-4GB ram and microsd/emmc in GBs
Nov 19 13:23:04 <LetoThe2nd> i wouldn't be so harsh. cip/siemens went for isar, and seem to be happy with it. if it fits their bill, everybody is happy.
Nov 19 13:24:43 <LetoThe2nd> if all you want is a rootfs for board bringup, then for example there's nothing wrong with buildroot. its really all a matter of the specific usecase.
Nov 19 13:26:50 <hrw> sure
Nov 19 13:26:59 <hrw> I used buildroot in cirros 
Nov 19 13:27:05 <hrw> because it was there already
Nov 19 14:34:42 <eduardas> Most probably have already read this, but still: https://jaycarlson.net/embedded-linux/
Nov 19 14:35:13 <eduardas> There is an interesting opinion in the article on the whole Yocto vs Buildroot question
Nov 19 14:35:40 <eduardas> seems people still find it too time-consuming to get going with bitbake
