Embedded Gentoo
1.
Project Description
This project manages embedded system support in Gentoo. The project is
responsible for overseeing the build infrastructure for creating images
to be installed onto embedded systems. Also included is the support of
specific types of embedded systems and development tools.
2.
Project Goals
The intention of the project is to make Gentoo viable for embedded systems.
This includes creating a system for cross compiling and building the image
for an embedded system on a Gentoo workstation. The base install image
should be minimal, with different libc options. Building on this base,
the system can be customized for the particular system.
