<p>Initial content</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Introduction ==<br /> <br /> Embedded Linux is the craft of creating a Linux system run for so-called &quot;embedded systems&quot;, which are purpose-built computational devices with restricted capabilities, compared to a multi-purpose computer for the consumer market. <br /> <br /> Popular tools for creating an embedded Linux system are<br /> * [[Yocto]]<br /> * [https://buildroot.org BuildRoot]<br /> <br /> <br /> It is also possible to create a Linux system &#039;manually&#039;, where the components are built and integrated individually, without using the above tools that automate this process. See [https://www.linuxfromscratch.org Linux From Scratch], for example. This very tedious method and error-prone method is not recommended unless you are an expert or have a lot of time to waste.<br /> <br /> == Useful Boot Settings ==<br /> In the boot image root folder (/boot) edit the &#039;&#039;&#039;config.txt&#039;&#039;&#039; file to configure a number of system features.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;enable_uart=1&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> Enables communication over the UART serial port. This is useful for reading the log messages of the boot process and for logging in as a user on a headless system where the SSH server is not set up yet.</div>
