Using Emdebian

• A number of “easy” steps:

  • Install a cross-compiling toolchain
  • Edit the /etc/dpkg/cross-compile file for your use and toolchain (the most important parameters are LIBC, CONFIG and CROSSPREFIX)
  • Fetch a Emdebian source package(s)
  • Extract it (them) in your development location
  • Change into the new dir and execute “dpkg-buildpackage -b -a<arch> -D -Emdb”
  • Install the new binary package(s) with “dpkg-stag”
  • Make an image of your new root-filesystem and upload it to your board
