Hi, There are several ways of producing the root filesystem that I can think of (& some that I actually tried).... 1/ Use LTIB (since you mentioned it) - it works fine - you need to force it to use 'external' kernel source and point it to the compiler from the DM355 MV installation. There are other 'free' tools out there that do this sort of thing, 'buildroot' being one that comes to mind. I went with LTIB basically because we use it for the Freescale platforms we have so it was familiar. 2/ Pay MV some money & license DevRocket. That will produce the file system as MV intended for the distribution. 3/ Invoke rpm manually to install the packages that produce the file system. This is basically what DevRocket does but you get the added fun of resolving the dependancies for yourself. 4/ Start with the root filesystem that is part of MV pro. Cut it down with 'rm' till you end up with something that you find suitable. I wouldn't recommend doing this but it is possible. Of the above, I started with 4/, then tried 1/. Then went on to 2/ and once I had figured out what DevRocket did wished I had tried 3/ although the dependancy thing would have probably got to me in the end ;-) Regards Phil Q Phil Quiney, Senior Software Engineer Trinity Convergence Cambridge Business Park Cowley Road Cambridge CB4 0WZ, UK T: +44(0)1223-435536 F: +44(0)1223-435560 www.trinityconvergence.com <http://www.trinityconvergence.com/>

I want to know how to compile the rootfs for DM355 so that I can select my own packages I need, remove the unwanted ones, and could create a ramdisk. Is there anything like ' ltib for freescale' in DM355. Regards, Amit Nehra E-con Infotech Pvt. Ltd. +91-9718347393
