  • Yeah, I had a silly hack for that. I don't remember what it was. It's been 3-4 years since I wrote bash for a living. While not perfect, I still need to know if a pipeline command failed. Continuing a script after an invisible error, in many cases, could have been catastrophic.

  • Woah, that ((i++)) triggered a memory I forgot about. I spent hours trying to figure out what fucked up my $? one day.

    When I finally figured it out: "You've got to be kidding me."

    When i fixed with ((++i)): "SERIOUSLY! WTAF Bash!"

  • Right now, the most common target we have at work is variscite imx6,7 and 8. Nxp has leaned heavily into yocto. To be clear, this would be an outside of work thing, but I'll probably yoke one of our dev boards.

    Embedded Linux without Yocto

    Hello all, I'm an embedded software guy struggling with Yocto. I'm not asking for assistance as I cannot be saved. Rather, I'd like to make my own. How hard it would be to put a Linux distro onto a device without it? For example, if I were to get a perfectly good distro (let's just say Debian) with the right architecture going in a container. Is there a simple way to combine that with u-Boot, and other crap from a SoC manufacturer to build an image? If that is oversimplifying, I've done Linux from scratch before, and I'd be willing to go that route as well. I guess the issue boils down to the specifics like building the image and anything else that I'm not aware of.

    So, what part of this idea is going to be a lot harder than I'm giving it credit for?

    By the way, I'm aware of Buildroot. This is more for learning purposes, and who knows... maybe I will actually make something out of it.
