Introduction ============ DistroKit is a Board Support Package (BSP) for the `PTXdist `_ build system. It assembles a small (but not minimalistic) Embedded Linux system with modern components: - barebox bootloader - mainline kernel, as patch free as possible - systemd based init - NetworkManager for dbus based network configuration It can be used as a base for further BSP development. Installing the BSP ------------------ DistroKit is built with ptxdist. In order to install ptxdist, `download the tarball `_ from the PTXdist Download Area. Extract the tarball: :: $ tar xf ptxdist-|ptxdistVendorVersion|.tar.bz2 && cd ptxdist-|ptxdistVendorVersion| Go to the extracted directory and run :: $ ./configure && make && sudo make install Installing the Toolchain ------------------------ In order to build a BSP, you need a toolchain. The easiest way to get a toolchain is to install the debian packages for OSELAS.Toolchain: ``_ If you want to build the toolchain yourself, you can download the toolchain sources from ``_ and build them manually.
