I'm not very familiar with OpenEmbedded but I'm starting to look into it. As I see it, OpenEmbedded is trying to create a platform for the creating of embedded distributions. OpenWrt is dealing with creating a distribution geared towards the specifics of routers (networking issues and HW specifics related to that). However, the approach of OpenEmbedded looks very good, at least, from their documentation. Has anyone compared the two build systems approaches?
