Hector Oron is working (and has already made at least one version) on Livecd that is meant for studying the embedded development. Here is info from the session he held in this years fosdem from the subjetc. 13u30-14u30 SETR LiveCD : A live tool for embedded development, by Hector Oron In a educational enviroment, i decided a while ago to build a Debian LiveCD distribution, so students could play/demo a little with free software tools for embedded systems. As a result of my work, it was born SETR LiveCD, it is built into a CD-R and it has : * Cross-compiler toolchain for m68k and arm. * ARMulator and XCopilot: ARM & m68k emulators. With uClinux demo included. * GDB, ddd debuggers. This was my first built, afterwards, i've been working, not so hard, on the distro, trying to add scratchbox, uClinux sources, and probably latest development on Emdebian project, but this is not ready to release, yet. So, this educational distro, is trying to become a utility for professional embedded people, and it is an open project where everybody is welcome to add, or ask for the tools that they use or need. Due to a hardware failure, i have lost my site, where all development was taking place,and i'm hopping to have some time available to put it up again. Site url: http://setr.shows.it/ Mika
