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

[Mauro Ziliani]

Hello,

Yocto is a must for your project, regarding the project evolution.


I made a project starting from an intel platform, then I port it on 
raspberry, now on imx6 dual lite.

My application never change, the system services never change.

I need to change only the parts which driver the hardware.

You can achieve this goal playing with layers

If you made a good planning of the layers, the porting will be "easy2.


Good work
