That looks VERY promising and definitely along the lines of the way I'd like to think; Build up from nothing, ie additive rather than subtractive. Also, as a real bonus, it would seem to automate the creation of a cross-compilation toolchain (I've been doing all of my compiles on my BeagleBone Black, while my 2.8Ghz, 8-core 64x86 machine sits there jealous and idle.) Despite its promise, however, I haven't tried this approach yet for a couple of primary reasons: 1) because of all of the BeagleBoard-specific stuff I'm relying on -- most notably the PRUs. Buildroot looks more geared towards building distros for general purpose linux machines. Am I wrong? Is anyone using buildroot for BBB-specific debian linux distros? 2) I've never gotten down to the kernel-building level of linux, and, to be quite honest, am a little scared of all of the options I don't understand. Part of this is also pragmatic -- I'm on deadline. When I have some more spare cycles, I'll dig deeper. Thanks again for the tip. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
