I think that such a cross compilation script would be interesting. We are using something like that for our firmware. 2. The question if it fits within the Debian mold follows an answer to the definition of embedded and to which systems GNU/Debian fits. IMHO, buildroot is intended for more 'deeply embedded' systems: busybox/uclibc covers most of the basics; ensuring a very small root filesystem (< 1 MB). I think GNU/EmDebian is rather intended for slightly higher level systems, where the choice is made to remove 'crud' from a normal system. -- Marc Leeman Hardware R&D Engineer Barco Control Rooms Noordlaan 5, Industriezone, B-8520 Kuurne (BE) Tel. +32 56 368 428 http://www.barcocontrolrooms.com mailto:marc.leeman@barco.com
