One Line Summary

A survey of userspace alternatives for ARM based devices.

Abstract

Nowadays ARM architecture becomes more and more widespread and popular among variety of device vendors. ARM based SoCs are used in smartphones, home NAS boxes, medical equipment, industrial devices and so on etc. Increasing performance of ARM CPUs and low power consumption leads to their adoption by tablet, netbook and even server manufacturers.
A lot of ARM devices run Linux and there are ARM ports of Slackware, Debian, Gentoo and Ubuntu. However, there are very few ARM-based devices can undergo “traditional” Linux installation with ISO or USB images and fancy installers. Device manufacturers craft their root filesystems with cross-compilation frameworks.
The existing cross-compilation frameworks and ARM ports of the mainstream Linux distributions differ in their complexity, flexibility and robustness.
This talk compares several cross-compilation frameworks as well as ARM ports of the mainstream distributions.
