Using Debian Containers For Cross Development

Containers are getting a more and more popular way to distribute and run applications on servers, and its use is beginning to gain ground among embedded systems. In this talk we will discuss, in practice with development boards, the challenges of cross-development for embedded systems and how Debian containers can be a powerful option to help.
