Hi, I have finally managed to set up a small scratch-built Linux using T2. It is far from minimal, but the image is 7MB and it runs in about 14MB of RAM which is more than adequate for my application.
Most problems I had were due to no experience with bash-scripting at the level used in T2, and the details of the various build-systems used in the packages. All of that got solved by sifting through other packages, other targets and old-fashioned learning by "trial and furor". The final problem that I could not solve but have worked around is with the bash as built by T2: My target is a clone of the "generic embedded" target and uses uClibc. The system segfaulted on me in two out of three boots at several points in the startup process. Both on QEMU-provided virtual hardware as on the real system. I finally isolated the bash that was running my init scripts as the culprit. Switching those start scripts to busybox-implemented ash fixed that. I am unable to investigate that problem deeper but I'm perfectly happy with the solution. Thank you T2-Team! And see you when it come to creating my own packages for the custom applications to be run on top of that system :-).
