This discussion does not intend to invoke any religious row between other alternatives and BitBake. Every step in the evolution has its own importance, which cannot be denied, and so do other available tools. BitBake was developed keeping in mind the Embedded Linux Development domain. So, it tried to solve the problems faced in this core area, and in my opinion, it addresses these in the best way till date. You might get the same output using other tools, such as Buildroot, but the flexibility and ease provided by BitBake in this domain is second to none. The major difference is in addressing the problem. Legacy tools are developed considering packages in mind, but BitBake evolved to solve the problems faced during the creation of BSPs, or embedded distributions. Let's go through the challenges faced in this specific domain and understand how BitBake helps us face them.
