Here’s a list of 10 tools commonly used for building and managing root filesystems in Linux-based embedded systems:
Yocto Project
- A powerful build system for creating custom Linux distributions for embedded devices.
Buildroot
- A simple, efficient, and easy-to-use tool for building embedded Linux systems.
OpenEmbedded
- A flexible build framework used in the Yocto Project and other embedded systems.
PTXdist
- A build system for embedded Linux, emphasizing simplicity and reproducibility.
Debootstrap
- A tool for creating a Debian-based root filesystem from scratch.
crosstool-ng
