The same code base is used for a different range of computing systems, from supercomputers to very tiny devices.
- Much simpler makefiles without the glue code that are hard to read and maintain
- Reduce the burden of code dependency management from developers
- Easy and efficient way to manage all compilation and configuration options on top of platform capabilities
- Precise dependency tracking with strong support of parallelism
- Tasks are split up and run simultaneously on multiple processors with different input in order to obtain results faster.
- Build versioning in continuous delivery
- Readable and configurable log
- Easy to change/browse configuration
- Clear dependency between features and capabilities
- Help docs in Kconfig rather than a README
