I don't have links to pre-built images and never used gentoo embedded. |

Here we use a GCC cross-toolchain, build the kernel from scratch and the |
| 12 |
rootfs with buildroot on the host, copy to an SDCard and boot our |
| 13 |
embedded system from there. The bootloader is pre-programmed through |
| 14 |
JTAG to embedded flash. Application debugging is done with gdbserver |
| 15 |
running on the target communicating through ethernet connection to the host. |
