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