arm-sdk
=======
arm-sdk is simple distro build system aimed at embedded ARM devices. It was
first conceived as a component of the Devuan SDK, but now it aims to
support multiple Linux distributions.
## Requirements
arm-sdk is designed to be used interactively from a terminal, as well as
from shell scripts. It requires the following packages to be installed:
```
zsh sudo xz-utils qemu-user-static git-core curl wget perl
```
It also uses the [Zuper](https://github.com/dyne/zuper) zsh library, which
needs the following:
```
zsh curl sed awk hexdump
```
### Specific distro requirements
For Devuan, which is using `libdevuansdk`, additional packages are needed:
```
debootstrap cgpt xz-utils kpartx
```
## Initial setup
By executing `init.sh` which is found in the base directory of arm-sdk, it
will initialize all git submodules and gcc toolchains that are needed for
arm-sdk to properly function.
## Acknowledgments
Devuan's SDK was originally conceived during a period of residency at the
Schumacher college in Dartington, UK. Greatly inspired by the laborious and
mindful atmosphere of its wonderful premises.
