Build scripts for AsteroidOS, an open-source Linux distribution for smartwatches based on OpenEmbedded, libhybris, and Qt5. This repository provides the tooling to prepare the build environment and compile flashable OS images for supported watch models.

Use cases

• build a custom AsteroidOS image for my smartwatch
• compile a flashable smartwatch OS from source
• port AsteroidOS to a new watch model
• customize the operating system on my wearable
• build an open-source alternative OS for a Wear OS watch
• set up a Yocto/OpenEmbedded build environment for smartwatches

When to choose

• you want to build or customize AsteroidOS from source
• you are porting the OS to a new smartwatch hardware
• you want a privacy-respecting open-source OS for a supported watch
• you need the SDK to develop AsteroidOS apps or watchfaces

When to avoid

• you just want to install AsteroidOS on your watch (use the prebuilt images instead)
• you need an app store or a polished consumer smartwatch experience
• your watch model is not in the supported devices list
• you are not comfortable with multi-hour Yocto builds
