During ELC a few people asked me if Linaro had something bigger than nano and smaller than Ubuntu that they could use to build stuff. Of course I said Android, but a lot of people actually want a regular Linux platform where they can easily recompile what they need to hack on, add their own libs and scripts and generally work in an "embedded, cross build way." I know there's OpenEmbedded and I've heard of something called "livebuild." Does anyone have anymore info? This class of users is arguably the largest class of people using these boards so creating something targeted at them would allow them to get all the benefits of Linaro in a easy to use fashion.

Nano and then install the packages you actually need on top of that?

That's exactly what we actually do at OpenBricks (http://www.openbricks.org/), well at least for ARM.
We integrate your toolchain and packages (+hundreds of others) and you can build your own customized on-demand embedded linux distro.

Developer images aren't useful for these folks?
I find them extremely useful when I don't care about a UI stack on top.

We provide 6 Ubuntu based images that we can consider as profiles. It's easy to customize or build your own image that will better fit your use case or requirements.
In our case, we use live-build [1] which allow to put your customization on top of our images [2] or even from scratch. Tom has written a wiki page [3]. The page needs some update (I'm willing to help) to add upcoming armhf images and latest live-build with cross support.
It is worth mentioning that you need a Debian/Ubuntu host (distribution supporting live-build). Anyway, if there's an audience for customizing Linaro Ubuntu images, we can provide tutorials.

I just try that wiki and At the step to launch the script:

If you have suggestion on command that could have help me to found the problem and resolve that issue let me know.

Hi Tom,
Could you update that wiki or help me understand that part:
https://wiki.linaro.org/LiveHelper/Cross
"Visit http://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/. Click on the Linaro Overlay PPA. Click on view package details link which at the beginning of the package list, right.
This is OK!
"Click to expand Linaro-meta. Download the .dsc and the tar.gz file for linaro-meta."
There is no Linaro-meta? May have simply be rename to something else?
Thx
