[Discourse.ros.org] [OpenEmbedded] Using ROS in commercial OpenEmbedded environment?

['Mike Thompson' via Mailing List of ROS Layer for OpenEmbedded Linux]

Dmitry, thanks for the response.

For good historical reasons, ROS seems strongly focused around Ubuntu as a base 
platform, but Ubuntu isn't really suitable platform for actual embedded 
products intended to work in a ROS ecosystem.  Its akin to placing an aircraft 
carrier nuclear power plant into a speed boat.  I'm very happy and grateful to 
see that others had already blazed the trail on getting ROS working over 
OpenEmbedded as it at least sets a direction and makes the integration 
possible, even if it is not easy.  

I'm just at the beginning of this process, but I'll be happy to share my 
experience with others as our development progresses on a commercial product 
based on ROS running on an OpenEmbedded-based custom Linux.  Hopefully I'll 
find others on a similar journey with which to compare notes.

Mike
