Everything about BitBake
Build automation tool often used for building Linux distributions
BitBake is a task execution engine build automation tool that allows shell and Python tasks to run in parallel yet in order constrained by configured dependencies. It was originally developed for and is commonly used to build embedded Linux distributions – often using a cross compiler to target a system that differs architecturally from the build host.
