As we know, buildroot and openEmbedded are major build systems for embedded system. Could anyone share what pbuilder is? Does it appropriate to be used in building embedded system? Could any expert share your experiences? Thank you.

As stated in pbuilder's documentation:

pbuilder stands for Personal Builder, and it is an automatic Debian Package Building system for personal development workstation environments.

You can create your own *.deb files with the help of pbuilder. But for the root file system you'll need another framework. Take a look at ELBE project. It also has support for pbuilder.

    @FrancisHu BR doesn't support pbuilder. These are different universes. pbuilder is a tool to package Debian's packets and BR creates a root files system from scratch using special recipes. – yegorich Mar 09 '18 at 14:52
