Nix would let you do just this already with potential binary cache and reproducibility.
I’m surprised it’s not more widely used for embedded. Maybe due to larger images? That’s a solvable problem.
Maybe best of all it’s fast. Yocto is painfully slow.
I'm not sure nix is aimed at the same kind of things here. ParticleOS seems to be a logical continuation of the effort that systemd has been putting into TPM2, boot security, signing, and immutability.
