[Gumstix-users] Image used for Gumstix has to be chosen according to the specific application?

[Gutembert n. <nga...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

There are many images available for Gumstix:

(bitbake x-load     MLO (OMAP3 bootstrap loader)
bitbake u-boot     u-boot (boot loader)
bitbake virtual/kernel     linux kernel
bitbake omap3-console-image     Gumstix console image
etc).

I am kind of confused for which image I have to use. Would any image
be used for a specific application? or it doesn't matter which image
is used?

To be specific, I am going to used my Overo Water COM to implement
image compression and would like to be clear if the image used for
Gumstix has to be chosen according to my application.

Your suggestion will greatly be appreciated,
Gutembert.
