Title: Tinycore RootFS sources
Post by: oe5hpm on November 22, 2013, 01:03:25 PM

Hello everybody,

I'm going to setup Tinycore Linux on a Texas Instruments AM3352 Processor based Board, this is an ARMv7 (Cortex a8) with up to 1 GHz and in my case with 256 MiB DDRAM3 attached, also a 7" WVGA display is connected (kernel allready displays the pinguin).

I've allready succesfully a kernel which does support all the hardware around and on my board.

Next step must be compile the rootfs e.g. the initrd of tinycore linux.
Are there any documents or links where i can get the sources or some information about doing this ?

many thanks and best regards,
Hannes - oe5hpm

In repo, depending on version and arch, e.g.
http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release/src/

Unless that's a soft-float board, you should be able to reuse the existing arm ports.

thanks for help.
unfortunately AM3352 is soft-fp, therefore i think that i have to build the rootfs by my self.

i will check the git repository and report afterwards about success or probably the other side :-)

best regards,
hannes
