Using ELBE to Build Debian Based Embedded Systems - Manuel Traut, Linutronix GmbH

Debian is a Linux distribution that is available for different CPU architectures, it is stable and secure. Best preconditions to be used in an embedded system! ELBE is an open-source Debian based embedded

Linux build environment (http://elbe-rfs.org). ELBE can be used to generate reproducable Debian based firmware images. In this talk Manuel shows howto create a Debian based firmware image for an embedded ARM platform. The build result, including a flashable image, licence informations and source codes of the open-source components will be discussed. He also shows how to integrate own software or do other customizations

like adding users or modifying config files in a reproducable way.
