A Flat Image Tree (FIT) was introduced quite a while ago and it's a convenient way to bundle all artifacts needed to boot a system. This talk provides an overview what we need the FIT image for and an overview of how we build it with Yocto Project. The goal is to clarify when and why FIT should be used today, and to highlight the changes and improvements you can expect in the future.
There are many options to build the FIT image with with oe-core / meta-oe. Do vendor layers also use already available approaches or they rely on a custom solutions?
