How to config target filesystem for an am335x EVM based project

Kevin Chen2

I am using an am335x EVM board and SDK 05.06 to develop my project.

The SDK provides one base and one full size roofs. However, I need a customized roofs which includes some additional packages over the base roofs but does not include the graphic packages as in the full rootfs.

I realized that I may use 'opkg' to remove the packages that I do not need. What I am really looking for is a menu config for roofs (just like the one for configuring Linux kernel) to allow me easily add or remove packages from a list. Does it exist? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Kevin,

No, I do not believe there is a menu for what you are looking for. It will be best to use opkg to add/remove the packages you need.

There is an online tool called Narcissus that lets you configure your own rootfs although I have not used this myself. I have been told that it is very user friendly and worth taking a look at.

Thanks for your help. I should have replied much earlier since I thought I would get the reply emailed to me but that did not happen.

Anyhow, thanks for your help.
