8 * uImage_kwplug is just Linux - the kernel. The sources are mainly
9 available on kernel.org. You need a cross compiler to build them for
10 this particular Marvell CPU. Look on Gentoo documentation how to build a
11 cross compiler and how to compile the kernel.
12
13 * sheevaplug.initramfs - This is just the bootable userspace. Since we
14 are at Gentoo, I guess it was produced using our cross-compiler
15 toolchain which is embedded in the Gentoo's package manager. Look on our
16 documentation how to build a cross compiler and cross compile with emerge.

18 Keywords: crossdev, emerge, cross root compilation, cross compile kernel

20 There are no secrets, everything is widely available
21 Have fun ;)
