Deby - Reproducible and Maintainable Embedded Linux Environment with Poky - Kazuhiro Hayashi, Toshiba Corporation

For civil infrastructure system related products, kernel and open source software included in the system requires not only industrial grade but also super long term support. We have developed a meta layer for Poky build system which can uses the Debianâ€™s source codes to share long term maintenance effort. However, there is an issue on source code management for product development which relates on reproducibility and maintainability. We have some experiences in product maintenance phase, for example, a bug occurred more than three years later after the product was released. In such kind of case, if we can reproduce the Linux environment for any older version, it is useful to find the source of issue.

In this talk, we will explain how to manage source codes and how to generate an embedded Linux environment with Poky and Deby for long term maintenance.
