This writeup goes over some basics on how to build and install a Yocto Linux image for an Overo Gumstix board. The Yocto build described in this document can be directly installed on a Gumstix board or you can utilize the kernel, modules and firmware it creates to construct other Linux distributions (Debian, Kali, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc) for your Gumstix board.
Here is a short summary of what this writeup covers:
- How to manually build and compile a Yocto image for a Gumstix Overo.
- A quick alternative way to build a Gumstix Yocto image.
- Where to download Yocto images if you are not interested in building them yourself.
- How to install a Linux image to an SD card for your Gumstix board.
- How to access your image after installation
