In this episode, we discuss our experiences using the Yoe Distribution on a real project.

Show Notes

In this episode we discus:

  • hardware options for implementing Embedded Linux systems (SOM, SBC, full custom)
  • why we selected the Odroid-C2 for this project
  • review of the BSP support for the Odroid-C2
  • make sure you are worked with supported technology
  • description of what it takes to use a watchdog to protect the boot process

  • trade-offs with implementing a read-only rootfs
  • application architecture
    • written in Go
    • local display using a Qt WebEngine to implement a full screen browser on LCD
    • used InfluxDB for storing time series data
