I will also add that I published a paper on why openSUSE can be a better option for not too constrained embedded systems compared to Yocto or BuildRoot. They may seem more convenient at first, but they are either insecure if done lazily or quite work-intensive if done responsibly. So cross-compiling is possible theoretically, but ... ...a major PITA, unless you use the proper tools.
Try to cross-compile a large C++ project, or cross-build some python bindings if you want to have "Fun". Fire! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1uwIzI3SE
Either way, here are my two cents on cross-compiling: I found that learning openembedded takes quite some effort, especially when you want to produce something you can actually boot into on your target system. On the other hand, cross-compiling stuff on any distro that I am familiar with has usually been easy. The only case when I struggle is when there is a complex build-system involved with hacked-together scripts not aware of cross-compiling. There are many out there, but many others do just fine! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
