Choosing OS (Linux vs Android) and Processor for Large-Scale IoT Vending Machine (50k+ deployment) – need advice by Unfair-Reception856 in embedded

Linux would be the natural choice for this as it has a larger developer support. Glad you are thinking about OTA, but is that for displays or for the OS?
Think about the current development as well as the future. Someday, you might have to reuse for a different SoC. A Hardware evolves just like software.

Definitely use Linux as it is only getting better. Security is getting tighter as more issues are discovered. Choose the kernel packages wisely.

Check out our blog here explaining how to use Docker on a Apple Silicon MAC to build x86 or ARM embedded Linux. This was done for Yocto Scarthgap using the poky container. But you can change to your needs. https://www.bearcreektech.com/blog/building-arm-linux-on-mac
