Cautions: the build tree can take up over 30 GB unless you add 'INHERIT += rm_work' to your local.conf; by default, the generated filesystem is bigger than Verdex Flash and can be loaded on a specially partitioned MMC card (instructions linked from the page).

Gumstix uses the OpenEmbedded build environment so developers can create a complete Linux Distribution for embedded systems.

Overo

Instructions for setting up an OE build environment for the Overo series have been posted on www.gumstix.org here.

Verdex Pro

Instructions for setting up an OE build environment for the Verdex Pro series have been posted in various places at various times. The current instructions are here. Kernel There are numerous methods of kernel development; some consider Buildroot the most straightforward. Those using OE may find these links offer useful workflows for kernel development:


To directly cross-compile the 2.6.21 kernel from the OE/SVN tree try these commands:

  source ${GUMSTIX_TOP}/extras/profile
  cd ${GUMSTIX_TOP}/tmp/work/gumstix-custom-verdex-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gumstix-kernel-2.6.21-r1/linux-2.6.21
