Notes on root file system

NELK root file system derives directly from the one delivered along with TI EZSDK. In order to enrich it by installing new pre-built packages, well-known opkg tool comes to help.

Starting from NELK 2.0.0, more and more packages are added to provide a richer set of libraries, tools and applications. Following sections detail these additions.

To configure opgk to retrieve pre-built packages from angstrom repository, please follow these instructions:

$ echo "src/gz angstrom-base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base" >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
$ opkg update

Please note that packages provided by angstrom repository are not optimized for DM8148 media hardware blocks such as video codec. For this reason, pay attention to not replace DM8148-optimized applications and libraries provided by default root file system.
