The storage method is going to be dependent on the manufacturer of the |
| 10 |
board. They should provide instructions for how to download the image |
| 11 |
(tftp, etc) and how to write to non-volatile memory. Any documentation |
| 12 |
on this side would be gentoo specific aspects of how to build the |
| 13 |
toolchain, kernel, and initrd image. There is already a _lot_ out there |
| 14 |
on these topics. |

I am no authority on this, I'm learning just like you. Hopefully |
| 17 |
someone will take the time to correct me if I'm wrong. :) |

Seems like building the toolchain with crossdev (in portage) is a good |
| 22 |
first step. Which is what I'm working on in my spare time. And yes, |
| 23 |
it's been sparse the past week or two... |
