[Qemu-devel] Aboriginal Linux 1.0.2: linux-2.6.39 system images for a dozen targets.

[Rob Landley <rob@landley.net>]

Aboriginal Linux's motto is "we cross compile so you don't have to".

Download prebuilt binary system images that boot under qemu, with native
toolchains so you can compile your own software, from:

  http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries

The supported target list in this release is:

  armv4l (oabi), armv4tl (eabi), armv5l, armv6l, mips, mipsel, mips64,
  sh4, i486, i586, i686, powerpc, powerpc-440fp, sparc, and x86_64.

(Also armv4eb and m68k but qemu won't run those yet.)

Packages those system images are built from:

  linux-2.6.39, gcc-4.2.1, binutils-2.17, make-3.81, busybox-1.18.3,
  uClibc-0.9.31, bash-2.05b, distcc-3.1.

Each of these system images includes a binary kernel and root filesystem
image, which the included "run-emulator.sh" script will boot to a shell
prompt under QEMU.  (The dev-environment.sh and native-build.sh scripts
are wrappers around run-emulator.sh that allocate more resources for the
emulator, to provide a better development environment.)

In the "extras" directory you can find statically linked dropbear and
strace binaries built natively under these system images, along with
static busybox binaries for each target (which were cross compiled).
