I was wonder if some one could provide me a good starting point (link, tutorial, pdf, etc) to start working with Linux on Mini/Micro2440, as the start point at the Wiki seems very advanced to me . My goal is to build a headless, minimal Linux image that runs on Micro2440, installing java on it, and having command by telnet. My idea is to handle all communication with other devices via UART. All my experience is Platform Bulider/WindowsCE/.NET development. I have done a couple of developments for x86 Linux with Java, but I never have compiled a Kernel, Make a source code or such kind of things. I was wonder too if some one have compiled an image as I described above. Thanks for reading and for your help. Regards. Fernando.
A good starting point.
Hi, http://code.google.com/p/mini2440/wiki/OpenEmbedded should provide you with a description on how to build your own images. If you don't need any special features of more recent kernels I recommend just using the one openembedded builds for you. There's also a section about customizing your image. In your scenario you would copy the console-image.bb file to your-image-name.bb and add the packages you need to it (should be obvious where to from reading it). As you just need Java you'll probably need to add the icedtea VM. Best Regards, Benjamin
