I’ve been porting a number of utilities in PiBox to provide library support for common functions. This includes a network configuration library – known as libpiboxnet – and a higher level library for PiBox specific functions. The code for the networking library was originally duplicated in two different apps with […]

Themes with Cairo were always a goal, but never implemented. Now, with PiClock, they are a reality.

When I was just getting started with embedded development I found many tutorials on how to perform cross compiles required setting up some shell functions and variables before working on builds. This is a necessity for embedded work because the embedded build for the target platform won’t use the same […]

Trying to come to grips with the myriad of source trees from which BeagleBoard related source can be pulled, I updated the BeagleBoard build system the other day to make it easier to pull from the various archives. Technically there are four ways to get source related to BeagleBoard: A […]

It’s a wonder what you can get done once the board actually boots up to a shell prompt. Tonight I completed setup of inittab and boot scripts – along with customization of the rootfs build – to force writes normally bound for the rootfs to end up on a tmpfs […]
