Building Filesystem for AM18xx

What do we recommend our users do to build their own file system?  Do we have sources from creating the file system we deliver with the SDK that can be supplied to customers as a starting point?

    Future SDK releases will have two file systems released with them in binary form. An "empty" one that has basic file system components such as the structure etc. and the "loaded" one that has applications such as Matrix and example apps in it.  The customer could use the "empty" one to build their product. During development of their app would be the ideal time to add other desired components into the file system since they are already managing cross-compilation for their app. Let me differentiate that the "empty" one is not size optimized.

    I believe the customer's intent is to have full control over the build process such that they can build kernel, apps, file system, etc all with the same toolchain.  Even in the scenario where we offer 2 different file systems, is there a way for them to be able to rebuild/recreate the "loaded" file system from its sources?

    Right now the only way to get the sources as mentioned is to use the SW manifest provided with the SDK and download each file system package that was used in the SDK. What toolchain do they want to use? Is there a base filesystem that comes with it by any chance?

    Where can the customer get the "empty" filesystem?  Or, when will it be available?

    There is a release planned for the AM1810-evm SDK at the end of January. The "empty" and "SDK-loaded" filesystems will be in it.
