We are somewhat biased towards uClibc for a few reasons. uClibc just makes sense. glibc does not (in many/most cases) Less memory consumption/smaller space/faster compile times. Developed with embedded in mind. SpanKY, Peter and myself dev for uClibc outside of just Gentoo. But your right glibc based systems are 100% doable. cross-* and native-* already working. However there are no profiles in portage for glibc+ embedded style things. But as long as you know what your doing and we hope most of you do (and are self starters) then it should not be a problem. > Almost any targets should work. yes. > However embedded project should enclose things as : > - intel/powerpc targets And we do. http://gentoo.osuosl.org/experimental/ppc/embedded/stages > - Realtime kernel facilities (rtai or other kernel oses in portage) http://www.gentoo-portage.com/sys-kernel/uclinux-sources And 33 other kernels in the tree for everybodies obscure desires. > - Easy deployment issues (specifictaions for compact flash / usb ...) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-embedded&m=110491868714076&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-embedded&m=110502470107482&w=2 These guys really need feedback. The success and failure of the projcet somewhat depends upon it's users. The end user really needs to give feedback and ideas of how to make things better to the devs or they may stop or deving on a sub project. > Ned Ludd wrote: > > >On Thu, 2005-01-06 at 18:52, Daniel Armyr wrote: > > > > > >>Is that all that the embedded project is? > >> > >> > > > >eh? > > > >The embedded project is a meta project. ie it houses many different sub > >projects but at the heart of things most of us tend to agree that you > >start from the same uClibc bases. > > > > > > > >>I have been lead to believe that the embedded project offers more than > >>that, in for example building minimalistic images to be uploaded in binary > >>form for example. > >> > >> > >You can do that..
