* build Linux applications that will run on the target.
The kit is composed by:
1. * hardware platform composed by Naon system-on-module (SOM for short) and carrier board. Supported carrier boards are:#** [[DDS carrier board | DDS]]#** NADP (coming soon)to evaluate Lizard capabilities avoiding to wait for manufacturing of a custom host board. For more details please refer to [1].2. * U-Boot bootloader sources3. * Linux kernel 2.6.x sources4. * Technical documentation such hardware manuals, mechanical drawings, reference schematics, software manuals and application notesetc. The documentation related to the software issues helps the user to quickly start and configure the bootloader and the operating systemquickly by hiding most of complexity of underlying hardware.For more details about technical hardware characteristics of processor modulesNaon, please see Lizard refer to Hardware Manual ([2]).All the files (sources, documentation etc.) may or may not be delivered on physical media (CDROM or USB memory stickTBD) depending on the purchase order code. However they are always available on-line on our web site. Access to these source files is granted to registered kit ownerowners's only. 
===What is not===
The kit is not a complete Linux programming guide nor a Linux Reference Guide. Internet provides tons of information, tutorials and examples about writing applications and drivers for this operating system and how to work with it from the user's point of view (just try to type “Linux programming” in your favourite search engine for example). As the kit is heavily based on open-source community-maintained software projects, NELK does not provide exhaustive documentation for these software items but it points out where to find the information on the Internet or books. For example, for the U-Boot bootloader, the kit does not list all the commands it handles but provides the link to the on-line documentation and to the public mailing list used by its community.
=== Introduction ===
 
The Naon Embedded Linux Kit is directly derived Linux EZ Software Development Kit (EZSDK) provided by Texas Instruments (see [http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-davinci|EZSDK TI Website] and [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:EZSDK|EZSDK in TI wiki])
