Partial A USB burner and build-config UI can be vibe-coded, but real OS composition and verification depend on low-level embedded toolchains and hardware-specific bootloader knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack would wrap existing build systems like Yocto or Buildroot and flashing tools, adding a composition layer and image verification such as signatures and hashes. The hard parts are per-device bootloader and driver support and safe flashing, which need embedded Linux and hardware expertise plus test devices.
