To be specific we have platform based on (am335x) Beaglebone. I'm currently using official TI kernel 4.9.59 Arago. There is no packaging system and because of Buildroot I don't have native toolchain in the target. The ideal scenario will be to build the Machine kit by cross-compilation and just paste some files into filesystem. This may or may not be of use, I don't / won't use any boards that are not capable of building their own software. If you use Debian multistrap on your desktop, not only will you have a chroot system you can compile in, it downloads a base Debian root filesystem tarball for the version/arch You could also use this for the basis of the filesystem on your board, with just enough libs etc to be able to run the binaries, but with the build tools and any superfluous stuff stripped out. Then you do have a packaging system, so building Machinekit becomes optional I have chroot builders for amd64/i386/armhf in Wheezy/Jessie/Stretch/Buster set up on my desktop which work very well. The multistrap filesystems are also at the core of the sysroot docker builders used to produce the Machinekit packages. regards Does anybody have some advice how to accomplish this? Or should I switch to Debian? My main reason to use Arago and buildroot is that I need to keep the system as small and fast as possible. Stock Debian for BBB boots about 40 seconds and it is not acceptable for our application.  Many thanks   -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
