[yocto] Is Yocto the right fit for my project?

[Richard Barrass]

Hello,

I am a lead engineer on project where we run a well-known Linux distribution on-top of a SBC (Intel Quad Pentium processor based) driving a 27" display. We have a 32GB SSD to run from, which we partition with multiple EXT4 partitions to help with potential corruption mitigation if the device is switched off 'hard'.

But, with the well-known Linux distribution comes a lot of things we don't need, plus the potential ability to 'break' in to our application which is running full-screen.

We basically need

QT 5.12 runtime (our application)
SSH
OpenVPN
Wifi
Ethernet
Modem (via Telit modem)
USB-ACM
USB-Memory stick

Is this something I should be looking to the yocto project for, or should I be looking at a more 'traditional' custom linux distro.

The only other aspect, is that we have future plans to cost reduce the application to be running on a Pi based, 10" display system ...

Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.

Regards
Richard
