Für PTXdist-2

How to become a PTXdist Guru This documents describes various aspects about how to work with PTXdist-2011.11.0. It is dedicated mostly to beginners in using PTXdist.

Installing PTXdist PTXdist-2011.11.0 comes in archives. This application note advises users what archives are required to be downloaded and installed to get a working environment to build filesystems for their target systems.

Building OSELAS.Toolchains() Before we can start building our first userland we need a cross toolchain. On Linux, toolchains are no monolithic beasts. Most parts of what we need to cross compile code for the embedded target comes from the GNU Compiler Collection, gcc.
This application note describes how to build OSELAS.Toolchains()-2011.03.1 to be used for projects handled by PTXdist.

Migrating PTXdist-1 projects This application note describes the project's migration process from a previous PTXdist-1 to the new upcoming PTXdist-2.

Extending the Menu PTXdist supports extending its menu for customising. It works on a per project basis. So we can extend the menu in a different way for each project we are working on.

Installing PTXdist-1.0.2 PTXdist-1.0.2 comes in several archives. This application note advises users what archives are required to be downloaded and installed to get a working environment to build filesystems for their target systems.

Extending the Menu PTXdist supports extending its menu for customising. It works on a per project basis. So we can extend the menu in a different way for each project we are working on.

Adding files into the build PTXdist's build system can be expanded easily to integrate some project specific files into the automatic build process.
This application note describes a way to do so.

Kernel Driver Development Since kernel 2.4 the kernel build environment supports building kernel modules out-of-tree. This feature isn't only for convenience, it also simplifies and accelerates the development. There is no need for make to walk through the whole kernel tree to recompile one driver source file only.
This application note describes how to integrate driver development into PTXdist's build environment.

Getting Help This application note provides a list of locations where you can get help in case of trouble or questions how to do something special within PTXdist or general questions about Linux in the embedded world.

Migration from previous PTXdist releases Whenever Pengutronix announces a new release of its Automated Build System for Embedded Linux Projects (called PTXdist) it's time for many people to think about migrating their projects to this new release.
This application note describes the migration process.

Working with Sources PTXdist supports integrating your own sources into the build. It handles the correct toolchain to be used, handles dependencies to other packages your sources require and also selecting correct paths for include files and libraries.
This application note describes the steps to take in order to make PTXdist work with your own sources.

Maintaining Deployed Targets PXdist supports ipkg as a packet manager to maintain deployed targets. This application note describes how to use this packet manager on the target.

Using udev Udev creates and removes device nodes in dev/, based on events the kernel sends out on device discovery or removal. This application note should help to configure udev to achive embedded targets requirements.

What's built? When PXdist builds a project, it creates several subdirectories and stores bunches of files in it. This application note describes the subdirectory structure and their contents.
