    Don't forget...

    There a lot of other players involved with Yocto, including a lot of Arm-centric contributors. The landing page lists Intel, TI, Arm, NXP and there are also a lot of system suppliers involved (Beagleboard, Wandboard...).

    Some of the contributors also offer long term support for Yocto releases.
