DM818x EZSDK Rebuild Rootfs (Busybox, libc etc)

Hello Danny,

In this forum thread it is explained how to build the arago filesystem (it could be a bit outdated, I personally haven't tried it out):

However if it is not necessary, I think you should prefer not to build it from scratch, since it could be difficult to put everything together. EZSDK filesystem is already pretty minimalistic, to reduce it's size you could browse the folders and remove the sample files and the unnecessary demos.

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for the reply...I actually just found this wiki page:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Toolchain

It mentions the OpenEmbedded project and a few others.  I am in the process of cutting down the EZSDK rootfs but I know from past experiece it's quite likely that some library dependencies will break eventually when you try and cut things down to the essentials for your own target system.  I need to get the rootfs to come in under 32Mb hence why I'm looking at building my own.

Regards, Danny.
