Hi Mark, > BTW: I don't understand why the people at gumstix don't develop software for > the gumstix and its daughter boards..... And of course, very BIG kudos go to Craig (from gumstix) for keeping the buildroot ticking along and advancing along with the linux community (I see the kernel advanced to 2.6.16 yesterday). Most people probably don't appreciate how much effort goes into getting a linux distribution working and maintaining it along the way. Having to do this myself, I know just how much effort it takes. The folks over at uClibc & busybox have advanced things significantly. I started working with uClibc a couple of years ago, and the state of things today is WAY better than it was before. I used to have to build the toolchain by hand. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |
