Some of them have a buildroot defconfig. If you take one which doesn't, you can develop it yourself and contribute :-) > It seems to be good bet for beginners as it is low cost, what do you say ? > http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-65651?CMP=KNC-PS-G-APAC-GEN-MAN That's the atmel_sama5d3_xplained I mentioned. Wow, it is still relatively expensive... > Does it comes with uboot installed ? I have no idea, but it is fully supported by Buildroot, both for booting from SD card and booting from flash. > Does this buildroot support SAMA5D3 & board in above link ? Yes. > http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/BuildRoot Well, the linux4sam fork is relatively old. In addition, there are some changes in it that are incorrect. So I'd stick to upstream buildroot :-) Regards, Arnout [1] http://linuxgizmos.com/ringing-in-2015-with-40-linux-friendly-hacker-sbcs/ > > Please suggest. > > Regards, > Dinesh > [snip] -- Arnout Vandecappelle arnout at mind be Senior Embedded Software Architect +32-16-286500 Essensium/Mind http://www.mind.be G.Geenslaan 9, 3001 Leuven, Belgium BE 872 984 063 RPR Leuven LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/arnoutvandecappelle GPG fingerprint: 7493 020B C7E3 8618 8DEC 222C 82EB F404 F9AC 0DDF
