Software information
From Gumstix User Wiki
Introduction
Gumstix uses Linux® OpenEmbedded, a build environment that allows you to build rootfs images, packages and custom software in a easy way.
There are different rootfs images (gumstix images) that provide software bundles depending on your application needs. Applications can be installed on this base system as software packages with ipkg.
Starting
Setup the build environment and bitbake the image of your choice depending on your application needs.
