to paraphrase that one veterinary handbook; if you need to get a Linux SoC to work:

  • DON'T TRUST A VENDOR
  • USE YOUR BRAIN
  • USE DRUGS
  • @whitequark this is why I’m cat-hiss-noises at embedded Linux, after I briefly looked at uboot and busybox and all the horrendously outdated kernel trees. At least with microcontrollers I can plausibly trust some parts of some SDKs, and if I don’t like it, implement it myself (even if it takes ages because I’m not as good a coder)
    @s0 100% warranted
