[Arm-netbook] EOMA68-A20 now booting Linaro distro from uSD card

[Arokux X]

Hi Joe,

several more tips for you. Linaro images are built using Live Build
infrastructure (This method could be used by you later to create custom
images). This page explains how they do it:

https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Rootfs

The passage "Creating the rootfs supported by Linaro" is the most
interesting one as it describes how you can build a rootfs by yourself.

Do not forget to change the command

cd ubuntu-build-service/quantal-armhf-nano

since you need raring.

As I understand it, Linaro guys are not compiling from scratch. They put an
image together using packages from the ARM-repos provided by Ubuntu.

If you want you can go even deeper i.e. compiling the packages themselves
from sources, but putting an image together from the ready available
packages seems to be the first step down this road...

Hope this helps,
Arokux
