Hi Marlon, Some more points to vote for yocto: 1) ability to switch to another board easily (even with different arch) just by switching the BSP layer and optionally doing some kernel and bootloader config; 2) you can switch between package versions you want to use, plus fine-tune and patch them for your specific needs;
As the downside of Yocto I can mention that "baking" process is quite time and resource intensive. BR, Maxim.
