• Considered Linux From Scratch

• Explored software for embedded Linux

• Discovered the following useful tools:

    • Uses gcc and uClibc (uClibc == micro controller libc)
    • stripped down C library intended for embedded devices
  • Busybox – Swiss army knife of embedded Linux
    • Contains many programs in one executable!
    • Static or dynamic executable
