Re: [Gumstix-users] Are buildroot versions shipped in Gumstix tagged in SVN?

[Athanasios A. <th...@at...>]

Hello Dave

The versions are not tagged as such but downloading and compiling the 
latest revision will always work.

You will need to recompile part or all of the Buildroot for the 
following reasons roughly:
1. To recompile the kernel
2. To change characteristics of the filesystem (like type, sectors, etc)
3. To add / remove programs that will be stored in flash memory on the 
gumstix

Items 1 and 2 might bring the gumstix to a non bootable condition but 
again, you need to do your best to do something very very nasty. Also, 
if during the flash procedure something goes wrong you might also get a 
non bootable board.

You might also want to take a look at this thread:

For saving the current image from the gumstix.

All the best
