Tiny Core Base > Raspberry Pi
picore-kit
roberts:
Now posted the first kit (script) to turn a Raspbian bootable SD card into a Core SD card.
These are considered to be a proof-of-concept and to gauge the interest therein.
See: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/arm/armv6/
Carefully and fully read the README file.

God blesses!!!

The picore-kits will be going away as they were an interim step to achieving a bootable Core image using initramfs as is currently the case with x86 Core. The kits were just my attempt to have an open development process. Even though I got very little feedback they served their purpose, if only for me to better understand the task at hand. I will continue to use them (modified) so as to keep the Arm ports in sync with the x86 port.
Raspberry Pi Core will be at about the same stage of development as the Allwinner A10 Core. I will be posting it in the next couple of days. I am only focusing on Core as everything else is an extension. Hopefully some in the community will join me in this Army effort.

Hi roberts - I have a pi but very little time to play with it at the moment - full time job and I've just moved in with the missus which means I can't have piles of electronics all over the place, apparently that's not on.... oh to be a student again...
Like you I tried to use the Raspbian distro as a base and then strip out the basics into something that can be booted using initramfs. *Unlike* you I sort of gave up after a while because I wasn't getting very far, the thing wouldn't boot and honestly I couldn't even find the tinycore shell scripts in the repository and so ended up gettting them from an x86 ISO release and copying them over.
I'm happy to test but that's probably as much as I'll be able to do, perhaps if there's a toolchain I can begin compiling packages.
Keep up the good work.
roberts:
You should be able to use the tool chain as provided by compiling on the Raspbian release.
