bitbake offers a choice of DEB, RPM or IPK packaging. To a degree the
choice is functionally arbitrary for image generation but control over
the package format becomes important if we want to:
1. Include runtime package management functionality in the firmware image
2. Mess about with the packages on the build system
With respect to 1 the IPK format and opkg (an ipk package manager) are
designed for embedded systems[1] - by contrast to RPMs have heavier
dependencies and a greater impact on the size and complexity of the
firmware image.
Regarding 2, the embedded nature and the need for opkg to work without
much fuss leads to a lower configuration barrier by comparison to RPMs.
With ipk it becomes possible to reuse the packages built during image
preparation for core analysis without needing to generate an SDK:

This approach documented in the Poky Reference Manual:
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.0/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#platdev-gdb-remotedebug-launch-gdb-inferiorbins
Switch all machines to IPK to align the debugging experience with
upstream's documentation and to facilitate efficient use of packaged
software at runtime.

This is apparently not actually working anymore and is removed in the
next poky update.

The e3c246d4i is an ASRock Rack Xeon E-2100/E-2200 series board with an
ASpeed AST2500 BMC. It's a relatively low-cost system with a SPI flash
header available for easy programming.
