Success! 🎉 Just finished building a custom Linux OS for my Raspberry Pi 4 using (raspberrypi4_64_defconfig).

SSH access is fully configured, network is up, and I'm connected remotely! This minimalist embedded system is flying. Time to start the real customization. 🚀

I'm excited to announce that I'll be starting a new role as Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead for @yoctoproject on Monday 8th December.

I started using and contributing to OpenEmbedded & Yocto Project back in 2013 and since then it's been a key part of my career. I've seen the project from many points of view over the last decade-and-a-bit: first as a hobbyist, then working with board vendors, silicon vendors, system integrators and end users. Now I'll be seeing it from inside the project leadership team and helping to shape its future.

Yocto Project has an excellent team and a strong base of members & contributors. This new role will help to coordinate our activities, take pressure off our Software Architect and scale up what we can deliver. I expect to be spending a lot of time thinking about the challenges and opportunities presented by the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). And I'll still be getting my hands dirty on some actual code as needed to help the project move forward!

Tired of my old dedicated i5 taking 2 hours for a single build, I moved the whole development environment to my powerful i7 machine (running Windows, but using OS Live on USB).

After installing the essential packages, the compilation time dropped to just 30 minutes! 🚀 That's a huge boost in efficiency!

I was thinking I could run a web browser on an i.MX 8M Plus ... and you can.

But you shouldn't, it's intolerably slow.

Looking at upgrading to a MediaTek Genio 700 based board. Two high performance cores plus a whopping six lower power cores. And 8 GB of RAM, enough to load two or three tabs!

DENX finally threw in the towel after two decades of being the "Embedded Linux Experts" 🥳—because running a million devices worldwide just wasn't enough excitement. But fear not, the mystical -Boot will be lovingly maintained by the magical hordes of open-source elves 🧙‍♂️, who have nothing better to do. 🎉

The schedule for the Yocto Project Summit 2025.12 is now out!

I'll be talking about the new features we've added in 2025: Configuration Fragments and the `bitbake-setup` tool. This will be a very timely talk with the 5.3 "Whinlatter" release being just around the corner.

BashCoreZ just proved it's the ultimate Real-Time base! 🚀

Tested the ultra-minimal (Debian 13 + Kernel 6.12 ) using , remotely piloted from a host.

Result: Max Jitter stayed under 240µs! That’s incredible determinism for embedded, robotics, and industrial control.

The "zero bloat" foundation truly eliminates noise.

Calling all JieLi developers and hardware tinkerers! Navigating the Virtual Serial Port function on the JieLi Forced Upgrade Tool 4.0 is key for serial download mode and communication.

Ideal for working with AC697x and other series that need this method.

Full guide: linkedin.com/pulse/jieli-jl-fo

Unlocking the full potential of the JieLi Forced Upgrade Tool 4.0 often requires using its Virtual Serial Port function for specific chips and debugging tasks.

Our latest guide provides a clear, step-by-step walkthrough for setting up and using this powerful feature:

✅ Driver Installation & Setup: Download the specific driver and enable the function via the 7th DIP switch.
✅ Port Creation & Binding: Learn how to create a new virtual COM port and bind it to your physical device's unique ID.
✅ Serial Communication: Discover compatible terminal software (like SSCOM) for reliable communication.
✅ Serial Download: Leverage the virtual port for firmware upgrades where USB isn't an option.

This is essential knowledge for developers working with JieLi's AC697x series and other chips requiring serial port upgrade mode.

It frustrates me that all the vendors are so Yocto centric. I had a bad experience with Yocto once years ago and I am reticent to give it another go. More importantly I don't want an appliance disk image, I just want Debian.

Unfortunately building a Debian image that boots on a non-UEFI embedded device is very non-obvious to me, and evidently to others as that's why armbian exists. But naturally I would need to add a custom board support and build my own armbian. 😐

Mouser is now stocking SMARC modules from Toradex. They have vastly more detailed datasheets publicly available than their competitors who either are unclear about what SMARC features are implemented, or require a professional e-mail address to get the real datasheet (or both).
