Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu - none of them has big-endian ARMv7a support which we could use as source of binary packages. > fwiw we believe that Baserock is currently the only commercial ARM > big-endian solution, but arguably baserock is not exactly a > "distribution". >From Baserock website: "Welcome to the Baserock open source project. Baserock aims to be a great way to build appliance systems with Linux. The current releases target x86_32 and x86_64 for ease of development, but we're working on support for ARM based devices as well" "we're working on support for ARM based devices as well" does not convince me to try yet-another-build-system. I saw too many of them during last few years and some of them disappeared after a year. I use OpenEmbedded because I know it and we have other engineers at Linaro familiar with it. It can build whatever combination of ARM (v4-v8) with many tuning combinations and already covers our needs when it comes to source packages. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
