Hi all,
I would like to use OE to build a rootfs plus busybox and a few i2c
tools and that is about it. What Distribution should I use as my base?
Angstrom? Angstrom seems to pull in lots of things that are not needed
like Bluetooth. Is there a better starting place?
Thanks
Chuck

Yes.

That's not angstrom that's doing this, it's the image recipe. For
example the kexecboot-image binary in angstrom is 80kilobytes in size
for the armv5te architecture.

No.

Koen,
Do you mean the recipe:
recipes/kexecboot/initramfs-kexecboot-image.bb

Chuck,
It's whatever image you build. There's a guide in the manual for a few
of the pre-built images:
http://docs.openembedded.org/usermanual/html/gettingoe_building_software.html#id508473
If you want an image that's pretty fat-free, I'd suggest the bootstrap
image. That's what I base all of my stuff off of while I'm developing.
It's a console-only image.
Image recipes are found in recipes/images/
