> Yocto AFAICT does not have a package discovery via TUI

Depends what you mean by package discovery, but `oe-pkgdata-util find-path` may be helpful in determining what package would produce a certain binary.

Other than searching on open embedded like you mention, I am not aware of a way to do this if you have not already added the layer containing the recipe.

> `oe-pkgdata-util find-path` Thanks for that one. Will keep it in mind.

With buildroot, I can use menuconfig to search for available packages and add them to the rootfs.

Yocto AFAICT you have to get the recipe name and manually add it to the rootfs via IMAGE_INSTALL:append
