I posted this to the "Software - General" group, but got nuttin, so I'm reposting here...
I've been playing with the Wandboard on and off for a while now.
I've built/installed a system based on Yocto and wrote some multimedia stuff in that context.
Everything worked, but it literally took over a day just to download and build everything.
Recently I installed ubuntu 14.04LTS on the same board. I was able to take the code that I
cross-compiled for the Yocto-based system and build it natively on the wandboard.
No big deal, but kinda cute, and in my case could be quite advantageous because I may
ultimately be handing this off to other developers that would not be quite as comfortable
with the whole cross-development environment.
Anyway that leads to my question (sorry if this is already posted somewhere)...
With the ubuntu14.04LTS release having hardfloat and VPU/GPU support built in,
what are the significant runtime differences between the two systems?
I will eventually be writing a audio device driver to run off the I2C and AUDMUX pins
that (luckily) come to the JP1-4 headers (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=944).
In that case I assume I have no choice but to build with the Yocto environment, true?
