7.1. Overview
A Linux image can be easily created with the help of the Buildroot tool [RD-6]. It automatically builds a toolchain
and includes a wide range of user selectable software packages. This chapter will show how to get started with
Buildroot and how to load and execute a Linux image on hardware using GRMON.
Cobham Gaisler provides a BSP for NOEL-ARTYA7-EX which is included in the Buildroot version downloadable
from https://www.gaisler.com/NOEL-ARTYA7. The Buildroot BSP contains additional driver support for Linux.
7.2. Step by step instructions
Download the Buildroot distribution with the NOEL-V BSP from https://www.gaisler.com/NOEL-ARTYA7 and
extract it.
