Hi,

I used custom scripts, scratchbox, buildroot, openembedded, and tried 
yocto, but today I use Debian Jessies on all the embedded target boards 
I work on. The most effective path is probably to find an existing 
Debian Jessie image for a board that closely match your target board, 
then start to adapt it for your needs.

* Install the required cross compiler.
* Build a bootloader (for example Barebox).
* Build a kernel.
* Configure a Device Tree.
* Install the Debian package you needs in the filesystem.
* Create new Debian packages for your specific applications.

It's a joy to work on a target that essentially run exactly the same way 
as a standard Debian workstation.

Best Regards,
Jean-Christian
