Hi,
I want to compile linaro filesystems from sources with debug info. I tried using XDeb but it seems like it is just a cross compiling environment and not a complete root filesystem builder.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial for this, or atleast share some info on what configurations i.e packages are used in various filesystems like headleass/netbook.
Also, I see that some folks are able to run linaro filesystems on PandaBoard. When will be the official stable release for PandaBoard will be done?

Hi,
Most packages on our standard images have debug info available.
See the first section on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
about how to enable the repository and install the ddebs.
This would currently have to be done from the running system, or manually during the creation of the image.
This will not have debug symbols for everything in our images. Anything that is in the Linaro overlay PPA will not be covered by this.

It is indeed. Peter sent the link about how to build a root filesystem. However, this builds the filesystem from packages, not from source. Therefore you would first have to rebuild all of the packages that you want debug symbols for, and then build these in to a new image.

You can see the package list alongside the image in the packages file.
For instance the last snapshot of headless has
http://snapshots.linaro.org/11.05-daily/linaro-headless/latest/0/images/tar/...
Also, I see that some folks are able to run linaro filesystems on PandaBoard. When will be the official stable release for PandaBoard will be done?
Our next release is in May 2011.

Thanks guys. The process looks a bit cumbersome and long, but I will surely try it and get back with my experience on it.
By the way, I was playing around with Buildroot and found the make menuconfig option of that very nice. With my earlier experiences on filesystems etc I can say having a configuration like make menuconfig with dynamic selection of dependencies is a win win situation for both the developer and end user. I hope to see this feature in linaro filesystems too :).
