CK100 Development Flow (Links are embedded)
Software development for CK100 is easy. However, the document found in this wiki is mainly written for Linux users. Therefore, lots of assumptions are made considering the reader is from the Linux land.
Project Dependencies
CK100 is built upon a multitude of open source projects. Thanks to all these wonderful projects that allow us to peek into the source code and use them freely. Find below a long listing of open source projects used in CK100. If I miss something, please let me know. :-) You don't have download these project files. They are all included in the release tarball.
- u-boot : Awesome bootloader
- Linux : Needless to say
- busybox : Tiny little Swiss army knife
- ipodlinux/ttk/podzilla2 : Nice menu-based GUI system; kind of broken for now...
