netnomad:
i'm looking forward to contribute in testing...
... hopefully you provide us some material that we can transform in a working environment.
some more hints a welcomed.

ATM it successfully boots and runs Core's configuration scripts.
Some utilities need to be recompiled for Core's specs.
Again, this takes an existing Raspbian SD card and together with x86 core.gz and creates a new rootfs.
Then the new rootfs overwrites the Raspbian rootfs on 2nd partition.
I can always use help with those comfortable compiling code, i.e,, use their Raspbian and compiling from sources used in Core.
Its a compile and test cycle.

These are good steps as I am in for BeagleBoard here and seeing that there is an effort to compile for Raspberry Pi in place. BeagleBoard is an ARM7 cortex A8 by Texas Instruments -- beagleboard.org
I will like to try tc on Beagleboard using your distro. Also I will like to attempt the cross-compile using the CodeSourcery Lite and document it.
Is it possible to cross compile from tinycore linux running on a PC? I mean using cross tools like CodeSourcery, Buildroot, Yocto, etc.., I have used CodeSourcery, buildroot and Yocto to cross compile recently. I believe they could be used for tc Linux as well since they allow you to use custorm linux kernel and external tools.
God blesses!!!
Best regards,
Sanyaade

Arm v7 Cortex A8 sounds more like the Allwinner than Raspberry Pi.
I have posted a prototype Allwinner image. However it is an initramfs and then layered with uBoot.
There are posted instructions to unpack in the Allwinner thread. Perhaps you could try that rootfs on your system. We have been doing both native and cross-compiles. Still early stage but the basics (Core only) seem to be working. The Allwinner effort is further along than the pi.

Updated picore-kit, now a single easier to use script, now posted:

Carefully and fully read the README file.
