<!--#include file="header.html" --> <b><h1><a href=documentation.html>What is Firmware Linux?</a></h1></b> <blockquote> <p>Firmware Linux is an embedded Linux build system, designed to reduce or even eliminate the need for cross compiling.</p> <p>The build system is a series of bash scripts which create a small native Linux development environment for each target, runnable on real hardware or under emulators such as <a href=http://qemu.org>QEMU</a>.</p> <p>Currently supported targets include arm, mips, powerpc, x86, and x86-64. Partial support is available for sparc, sh4, and m68k.</p> <p>For more information, see <a href=documentation.html>the documentation page</a>.</p> </blockquote> <b><h1><a href=downloads>Downloading Firmware Linux</a></h1></b> <blockquote> <b><h2><a href=downloads>Source Code</a></h2></b> <p>The <a href=downloads>Firmware Linux source code</a> is a series of shell scripts which run to create the various binary images. See the <a href=downloads/README>README</a> for usage instructions, and the <a href=news.html>release notes</a>.</p> <p>Several <a href=downloads/binaries>prebuilt binary images</a> are available, based on the current Firmware Linux release. The <a href=downloads/README>README</a> describes each tarball. The release notes on the <a href=news.html>news page</a> explain recent changes.</p> </blockquote> <b><h1><a href=/hg/firmware>Development</a></h1></b> <p>The project maintains a <a href=/hg/firmware>development repository</a> using the Mercurial source control system. This includes RSS feeds for <a href=/hg/firmware/rss-log>each checkin</a> and for <a href=/hg/firmware/rss-tags>new releases</a>.</p> <p>Questions about Firmware Linux should be addressed to the project's <a href=http://lists.impactlinux.com/listinfo.cgi/firmware-impactlinux.com>mailing list</a>, or the IRC channel #firmware on irc.freenode.org. The project maintainer's <a href=http://landley.net/notes.html>blog</a> often includes notes about ongoing Firmware Linux development.</p> <!--#include file="footer.html" -->
