= Build Instructions =

All Angstrom binaries are built using OpenEmbedded. This document described the steps necessary to setup an environment where you can build images and packages yourself.

If you just want a simple toolchain, please read our simplified development setup instructions

The OE host distributions wiki has information about needed packages on your host and possible tweaks for e.g. SElinux. Step 1

get the setup scripts: Go to the the setup-scripts repository and clone it, the URLS are on top of that page. You should end up doing something like: git clone https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/setup-scripts

Step 2

If you are behind a firewalling proxy, have a look at the oebb.sh file, it has built-in proxy handling.

Start building: MACHINE=beaglebone ./oebb.sh config beaglebone MACHINE=beaglebone ./oebb.sh update MACHINE=beaglebone ./oebb.sh bitbake virtual/kernel
