OpenEmbedded baseline was started for/by the ARMv8 bring up. Big-endian requirement came recently. We produce builds for our engineering effort and in current case, it's driven by LNG engineering. In addition, we've got already OE baseline running with engineers familiar with it. For this reason, it's also more cost effective than using another distribution (ramp up, CI loop, etc..). Nothing against baserock :) _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
