Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm working on a base layout for an embedded system based on the |
| 4 |
Freescale 8241 chip, and was wondering what might be available in the |
| 5 |
world of gentoo for that purpose. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Here are the requirements we've laid out: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Read/write /etc (jffs2 filesystem) |
| 10 |
/var is a ramdisk, /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp |
| 11 |
/ is read only otherwise (cramfs filesystem) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As far as apps, we basically just need: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
boa |
| 16 |
busybox |
| 17 |
samba 2.2.x (samba 3 requires additional libraries in the final image) |
| 18 |
sysvinit |
| 19 |
sqlite |
| 20 |
quota-tools |
| 21 |
sys-utils |
| 22 |
e2fsprogs |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Now, we created one a while back using an axis chip, and they had a full |
| 25 |
development package that we just modified as needed. In the end we |
| 26 |
wound up with an image that had about 2 MB left over of the eight. |
| 27 |
RIght now, we're kind of starting fresh with an 8241 based system, so I |
| 28 |
wanted to get some input on what recommendations you might have. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I've already been playing around with a custom thing from the ground up. |
| 31 |
But just in case, I'd like to see if there is something else we could |
| 32 |
look into. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I've been using gentoo for quite some time now (since the 1.4 days) but |
| 35 |
I haven't been following the gentoo embedded list for the most part. |
| 36 |

Cheers, |
| 38 |
