Embedded Linux in EOD Robots - Lessons Learned
summary
Polish EOD robots run Embedded Linux on ARM and x86, use Yocto Project (migrated from Ubuntu and Buildroot), and rely on MCUs for safety/real‑time while keeping heavy logic on Linux. The fleet sells ~100 units/year and must be supported for 10+ years, so CI builds require terabytes, caches corrupt, and occasional kernel downgrades happen; over‑the‑air updates use swupdate and Mender.io and must cope with low bandwidth and geographically distributed clouds to meet the 150 ms latency camera-to-operator requirement.
