<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We basically need<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">QT 5.12 runtime (our application)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SSH<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OpenVPN<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wifi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ethernet<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Modem (via Telit modem)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">USB-ACM<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">USB-Memory stick<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this something I should be looking to the yocto project for, or should I be looking at a more ‘traditional’ custom linux distro.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 …<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
