This is the OpenEmbedded filesystem builder for the Zipit Z2. !!!IMPORTANT!!! Look for READMEs that are in the build dir for more info before you proceed reading this file. Okay?. ===================================================== The Makefile should help you get a working OE system installed into your dev directory. I make a directory in my ${HOME}, such as OE-projects, then copy the Makefile into that and run 'make'. After it finishes, I have a basic OE set of tools installed. To install the Zipit Z2 specific stuff, I would then: svn co http://linux.zipitwireless.com/svn/zipitforge/openembedded ~/OE-projects That would then load the build and zipitBBfiles dirs. ===================================================== Basically, once you get the basic OE system installed, you will want to know a few things: 1) To build the OE distro for the Z2, just enter the command: 'bitbake base-image'. When it finishes, look in the ${TMPDIR}/deploy/images for your bootstrap-XXXX.tar file. That is the filesystem that you would copy onto the ext3 partition (filesystem space). 2) If you add or remove packages from within the build/*.conf files, run a 'bitbake -c rebuild task-boot'. You must rebuild the list of packages that MACHINE_TASK_PROVIDER (task-boot) knows it has to install into the filesystem image. 3) to build OPIE, run 'bitbake opie-image'. ===================================================== Installing the images can be eased by the prepSDcard.pl script found within the zipitZ2BBfiles/fatroot/ directory. Carefully read the README-sdcard for details on how to use the script and to identify where your SD card media reader is located.
