    alpkg is a tool for all your Alpine packaging needs. It can create a chroot with preinstalled tools in a matter of seconds, set up aports repository, and fetch/update packages. Most importantly, it provides a split layout via Zellij for easy editing/building APKBUILD files.

    A nice feature of Alpine Linux is that the package repository is a relatively straightforwardly-structured git repository containing build scripts for each package:

    https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/

    It's worth reading the contributor guide[1] before signing up and providing any fixes and improvements - and from there, hopefully it's a relatively familiar workflow for many developers.

    It's hard to say what your board needs without knowing more about it, but Alpine Linux can run on pretty much anything. And their chroot install will let you make a preconfigured build you can deploy to multiple machines.
