I teach an introductory course in embedded development at the Northern Alberta |
| 19 |
Institute of Technology. The NETdimm boards we use are a good fit |
| 20 |
hardware-wise, but the SDK is a bit antiquated (uClinux 2.0). Package |
| 21 |
management is also currently basically tarballs and makefiles. I'd like to |
| 22 |
see (say for next summer) a better solution. I should add that the |
| 23 |
manufacturers of my board are planning on shipping an updated SDK soon, but |
| 24 |
I'd still like to explore using an embedded gentoo solution in my classes. |

Once we have a base system up (cross compilers, toolchain, and basic fs), I'll |
| 36 |
start looking at some of the other things. I'll be happy to start |
| 37 |
contributing ebuilds for the things I want - like very low-footprint httpd, |
| 38 |
stuff from the uClinux userland collection, etc. Will give me an excuse to |
| 39 |
learn more about creating ebuilds. |

Love it. Was all tingly and excited after the online meeting. |
