Project listing

Embedded Gentoo brings the flexibility of Gentoo to embedded systems. The project is responsible for overseeing the build infrastructure for creating images to be installed onto embedded systems. Also included is the support of specific types of embedded systems and development tools.

Goals

The intention of the project is to make Gentoo viable for embedded systems. This includes creating a system for cross compiling and building the image for an embedded system on a Gentoo workstation. The base install image should be minimal, with different libc options. Building on this base, the system can be customized for the particular system.

Subprojects

The Embedded project has the following subprojects:

Project	Description
Build	System tools for building and loading the system. Includes cross compiling and libc (glibc/uClibc).
Tools	Tools for embedded system development (dev-embedded).
Single Boards	Support for single board systems.
Handhelds	Support for handheld devices, such as PDAs like iPAQ and Zaurus.

Planned subprojects

The Embedded project has the following subprojects planned:

Project	Description
Misc Devices	Support for miscellaneous embedded systems.
Security	Implementation of security measures.
Real Time	Enhancements for real time operation.
