located. The Linux kernel, at the end of its startup stage,
mounts the root file system on the configured root device and
finally launches the

and "father" of all the other processes.

BELK provides a pre-built root file system, that can be used
during the evaluation/development phase, since it provides a
rich set of packages for working with the BORA platform. Since
this pre-built root file system is not generated using the same
cross-toolchain used for building the BELK software
components, we recommend to choose one of the following
options:
●
if a native compiler is available on the root file system, go for
native compilation instead of cross-compilation
●
when you cross-compile, rely on static linking and avoid dynamic
linking against the root file system libraries
●
build your application using the same cross-toolchain (when
available) used for building the root file system
Please refer to Sections 3.2.6 and 4.6 for further details.
3.3.3.5 U-Boot and Linux git repositories
BELK source trees for U-Boot and Linux kernel are provided as
git repositories.

When the git account is enabled (please refer to section
3.3.3.6), the developer can:
●
clone the repository with the
git clone
<git_remote_repository>
command
●
