For this episode, Maciej invited two Timesys engineers, Daniel and Jason (both of whom have been working with the Timesys desktop build system and a number of open source ones, including buildroot and LTIB), to participate. After introducing Timesys' approach to building complete Linux platform, the trio talks about the differences and similarities between buildroot, open embedded and LTIB, and also touch on mainstream distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. Lastly, Daniel addresses a question received from a listener regarding tradeoffs in latency vs. throughput when migrating from a micro-kernel solution to Linux.
