I would like to build as minimal of a system as possible on a
BeagleBone. I only need ALSA and jackd to work. Would this work well
with busybox? I'm very familiar with Gentoo but a system like this
would be set up entirely outside of the Gentoo framework?
Gentoo makes for a great system to create lightweight builds. You can build
a minimal build with something like:
ROOT=/tmp/somewhere emerge -v baselayout uclibc busybox
The details are slightly more complex, eg I tend to use a uclibc based
chroot with hardened compiler, etc, you will need a cross compiler setup,
but very roughly that's about all you need...
I already have Gentoo on an SD card running on the BeagleBone so I
wouldn't need a cross compiler. Could I do the above, copy
/tmp/somewhere to / on another SD card, set up /boot, and boot? It
couldn't be so easy :)
