How to download the MER core(the linux source) and how to build it? So, Mer Core is already built for a number of targets for you:
i486 (Generic X86) i586 (X86 hardware with SSSE3 support) armv6l (ARMv6 with VFP) armv7l (ARMv7 with VFPv3-D16, softfp ABI) armv7hl (ARMv7 with VFPv3-D16, hardfp ABI) Mer is a package based distribution, so, we have a bunch of source packages at http://gitweb.merproject.org/gitweb that we build with a system called Open Build Service and then give you built .rpm binaries for the targets above. It is possible to build those source packages individually as well. > 2. How many partions is MER divide, could i built each for them and burn > into > flash(or SD, or...)discretely? Traditionally you'd have a system in / -- there is some difficulty into dividing into / /usr /var etc with systemd, our service manager, but a setup like: / -- system /boot -- boot information, kernel, bootloader /opt -- applications /home -- user data /tmp and /var/tmp -- temporary data should be entirely possible > 3. How to port MER to my own board? With the next Mer release that comes out, we hope to provide some generic file systems for each of the targets above. You take one of those closest to your device, add a kernel (2.6.32 and above) with some extra settings and try to boot it :) > ... > OMG,so many questions and i hope you can help me. > I plan using all of my Chinese new year holiday to find out what MER is and > how > to be a developer > > BR > Walle
