[ARMedslack] Current status of arm ports eabihf

[Davide]

Sorry mixing html and standard ">" indentation on yahoo means a lot of manual editing.

Taking the ordinary slackware miniroot to one with compiler is really just a matter of installing some packages (in the d and l series ). I often do that on a live system just after having gotten networking and slackpkg working. 

If you look at the build script you can add what ever packages you need and build your own custom miniroot. But be aware that slackpkg (and possibly some other packages) will setup things on the host detected architecture so even if you install packages to e different  root some configuration is done wrong , like for example slackpkg only having the x86 mirrors in the mirror list. Nothing you can't put right by hand but something you mignht want to know befor you start off.

I was looking at the blog actually,  seems like the right direction.  Be cool to see how the trimslice is working out.

You could be right,

Here is what I was hoping, is that a very simple ( mini ) root would be available ( and I mean mini ) with a working native compiler.  I want to test the latter 3.10 released kernels as the Arm branch is very active with some nice fixes.  For Embedded the most important is core support for better GPIO control.

Ive gotten all the hardware working on the Panda,  Wifi BT etc etc etc.  But most probably not overly optimal.
