Except sysinstall is on life support...

After the complete embedded application works on a development system, it needs to be squeezed onto some type of media to go into the target hardware. NanoBSD can do that, or a custom script can do it too. But while final packaging might be nontrivial, it's secondary to developing the actual application.
