BoF: Challenges of Low Spec Embedded Linux
Talkat Open Source Summit Europe + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2019 · on Monday, 2019-10-28· at 18:00· Forum 3·
summary
A container engine called Pantacor container engine is presented as a candidate for embedded devices including the very low end. Attendees report real devices with 8–16 MB flash and about 64 MB RAM (MIPS routers), and identify the largest pain points as userland size and tooling — especially networking middleware, bootloader limits, and DBus/systemd footprint — and propose runtime trimming, LTO and stricter package selection as practical next steps.
